Apoyo Para las Tareas de Hoy

¡Hola!


Ojalá que están pasando una muy buena noche.  Aquí están las tareas que les había prometido.  


1  =  Racism essay   (English Language Arts)


      So today in class we reviewed the term persuasive essay.  And we talked about how an essay is something that uses facts to convince someone else to believe in your opinion.  


synonyms for persuade generated by class:


      convince, sway, carry, influence, induce, stimulate, cause, argue, reason, entreat and prevail


     Please use tonight to brainstorm with your parents about their experiences to find facts (real experiences of your own, your family, the world) to convince someone to change their prejudice against a particular race.  


     Possible scenario ideas generated from class to write about.


1     A new Muslim girl transfers into our class and feels that she will be treated poorly because of how she dresses and because of her religion.


2     Your parents invite a new family in the neighborhood to dinner and when they get there you see that they have a different skin color.


3     You are dining with your family in a restaurant and overhear the waitress speak very poorly to a Tongan family and you hear her use negative racial stereotypes.


4     A Chinese man moves in across the street from you.


5     A cashier charges a different price to 1 person in line because they are _________ .


6     A new president of the US is elected and they are not of the majority race / gender.


7     My sister is speaking ill of a new foreign exchange student in her class.  




Again the purpose of this assignment is to help you prepare to write an essay.  The homework should look something like this:


Name                                                                       Scenario Chosen
Don Cody                                                                 T 15 Feb 2011


I     Proof 1 to persuade someone to change their behavior.
       A     Personal fact, story, etc
       B     Personal fact, story, etc.
       C     Personal fact, story, etc.  


II     Proof 2 to persuade someone to change their behavior.
       A     Personal fact, story, etc
       B     Personal fact, story, etc.
       C     Personal fact, story, etc.  

III     Proof 3 to persuade someone to change their behavior.
       A     Personal fact, story, etc
       B     Personal fact, story, etc.
       C     Personal fact, story, etc. 

Remember that if you use tonight to prepare, the essay you write tomorrow will be very easy.  Good luck.  I'll be excited to see what you've come up with in the morning.


2  Matching formulas to their appropriate figures.

Match the following figures with either the appropriate Area, Volume, of surface Area.

TRIANGLE                                            A  =  b * h

SQUARE                                                V  =  l * w * h

RECTANGLE                                        V  =  (1/2 b * h) * l

TRAPEZOID                                          V =  1/3  l * w * h

RHOMBUS                                             A  =  1/2 b * h

PARALLELOGRAM                             A  =  b ^ 2  (base squared)

RECTANGULAR PRISM                      A  =  b * h

TRIANGULAR PRISM                          A  =  b * h

PYRAMID                                              A  =  1/2 h * (b1 + b2)

                                                                SA =  2 * l * h  + 2 * w * h                                 
                                                                                  + 2 * l * h

                                                               SA =  1/2 b * h + 1/2 b * h 
                                                                         +  l * h + l * b + l * s
