Hi 6a and 6c!

Next week, we will finish our advertisment presentations and review what we have learned from George's Marvellous Medicine. We will also have a written test on George's Marvellous Medicine.

There will be three parts in the test.
Part A: I will read out only 15 describing words from the list of 28 words below.   Students will spell and give the meaning of the word.  The words in orange have the same meaning as the words in white.

Describing Word              Antonyms (words that mean the same)

Mean -	cruel, vicious, unkind
Old -	elderly, aged, stale
Scary -	frightening, awful, horrific
Ugly -	hideous, nasty, gruesome
Clever -	intelligent, smart, bright
Lonely	neglected, alone, solitary
Brave	heroic, fearless, courageous

Part B: Students will fill in the missing word in a sentence by choosing the most appropriate describing word from a list provided.

Part C:  Students will read a short passage from George's Marvellous Medicine and answer questions on the reading.


6A will have the test Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013

6C will have the test on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013.

Keep up the good work and good luck!
