Bell-ringer:

 Directions: Write the following sentences and then define the underlined words using context clues.

 1. The facetious video you showed us made my family die from laughter.

 2. That puzzle was so facile that even my baby sister could solve it.

 3.  We only have a facsimile of the Mona Lisa, not the real one.

 4. My father is too fastidious; nothing I do is ever good enough for him.

 5. The fealty of the soldier’s dog was inspiring; it even stayed beside his coffin. 

 Instructions:

 1. After you have finished the bell-ringer, begin typing the essay your wrote in class the last time we were in class. 

 2. Your essay should be written with a 12-point font, Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri. 

 3. Your essay should be double-spaced without an extra space between the paragraphs. If you do not know how to format your essay correctly, then you need to ask Mr. Spivy for help.

 4. In the top left-hand corner, you need to head your paper with your name, your teacher's name, the class (Reading/Language Arts) and the finish date.

 5. The title of the essay (which should be an original title) will be centered at the top after the heading.  

 6. After you have finished typing your essay, you need to copy and paste it into WV Writes. I have opened up the prompt called "Essay Check" for this purpose. After submitting your essay, make any edits that you deem necessary after reviewing the suggestions from WV Writes.
