Academic Skills
1. News notes! Take Cornell notes on tonight's news. You may choose any news channel, but remember to focus on only one or two news stories; don't worry about an entire hour or half hour of information! Use the note-taking techniques we practiced in class, and don't forget to use the 6 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and hoW. Complete the summary on the back/bottom when you are finished.

Composition
1. Study the VPP lesson 6 words on your flashcards so you are prepared for tomorrow's test.
2. Write a new verse for Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" -- the verse should be at least three lines and must be ironic (check your notes for the definition of ironic). You can earn extra points if it rhymes. If you want to see the "Ironic" song again, you can read the lyrics by clicking here.
