Rattlebone Vocab- Monday's class

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to post for Monday's class so everyone got used to seeing me on here. For Monday's class we are going to discuss the first two chapters of Rattlebone that were assigned to you for homework. I will be handing out a study guide for everyone so make sure you read so your able to fill it out!

Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to explain to you how class will be running for the next four weeks while i'm here. Everyday I want everyone to come in the classroom and immediatly check the class blog. Every day there will be a warm-up exercise posted for each student to complete. You will have about 10 minutes for you to complete it. Don't worry, they are pretty easy, it's just simple things you may forget along the way. Here is the first morning warm-up assignment. Just comment on the box below when you're all said and done!

Warm-up Exercise

Their, There and They’re


Their- Possessive, shows ownership
Ex: Their car broke so they had to take the bus.

There- Shows location
Ex: I couldn’t find my phone and it was over there the whole time!

They’re- Contraction of “they” and “are”
Ex: I met all of my new co-workers, they’re all very nice.

Now write a sentence for each (Their, There and They’re) to show you understand how to use them correctly. Post your sentences as a comment to this post.

Here is a list of Rattlebone Vocab. Make sure you keep a list somewhere with all the words on it. There will be a test on these words eventually

Happenstance (pg. 6): A chance happening or event


Capricious (pg. 13): Erratic or obsolete

Corporal-punishment (pg. 17): Physical punishment, inflicted on the body of one convicted of a crime: formerly included the death penalty

Cicadas (pg.27): A large insect, similar to the grasshopper
