3C - Homework for Week of March 13

For March 14 (Pi Day!)
Look again at the materials we have worked on for food miles/peak oil.  We will do a short exercise in class to see how well you know your vocabulary!

For March 16
On Thursday, March 9, we looked at a monologue task. We looked at how to add examples and connect ideas.  For Thursday, March 16, write out this same task as a blog entry.  Use linking words and at least 1 passive verb, 1 modal verb, 1 gerund, 1 comparative, and 1 if-sentence.   Write about 200-250 words in your Activity Journal.  This should be as mistake-free as possible!
