  Try these on for size--remember, look for the relationship between the first pair of words FIRST, then decide upon the missing word in the second pair that creates that same relationship.

Fleming! You are precisely right!! Movie critics evaluate movies--they give their opinions about how good a movie is based on details from the movie and whether or not they like them! Well done. Happy Hiker for you!

Ben- You only have to write the hook, P1 (statement of your overall opinion about the clip), P2 (one of the categories that helps you talk about why you like or didn't like the clip), and three P3 to give you opinion on those details that prove your category supports you evaluation. You do not need to do more than 1 P2 for today, nor do you need to do the closing hook. WE will work on that tomorrow in class.

Ben!

SAT for fun is an optional link on the side bar to access the high school level questions that often practice our decoding skills! (This is where your bonus question on the last test originated:) )
