preparation for the final

1. Study your vocab roots!  There will be matching, multiple choice, and/or sentence-writing prompts.

2. Create the Google Doc for your self-assessment.  Title it "[First] [Last] Accomplishments [period]," and share it with me.

In that document, list everything you've done / accomplished / learned this year in this English class!  For ideas / evidence, examine...
* Your brain
* The class blog
* The assignment blog
* Your folder
* Your journal

This is a prewrite for the final--the more you can list today, the easier the final will be!

Tell the story.

We'll write for 7 minutes.

(This isn't a freewrite, so go ahead and make corrections / think about what you're doing!)

What is the etymology of your word?
How does it connect to what you wrote yesterday, if applicable?
