*Finish these questions for homework.
Homework: Read Chapters 1 & 2 of Animal Farm. Visit the blog: http://teamthunderenglishblog.blogspot.com and use the hot link provided to navigate to a discussion board. Once there, respond to my question and then a fellow classmates response. Extra credit will be granted to additional responses to the two that are required. These responses should be treated like a quiz question, so you need complete sentences and include specific details ( in this case, about Animal Farm).
Extra Credit: Using the “word wall” choose 10 words and use them correctly in a sentence for each. Pay attention to grammar and punctuation. Use of compound and complex sentences will have greater value than simple sentences ( Limited to 30 words or three missing assignments ).
