First, the homework -
Assignment: Alphabet Probability
Tonight we are collecting data of the frequency of letters used in books and articles. You should use something that is very "reader friendly," not a science journal, dictionary, or geography atlas. You may use a fiction book or newspaper article of your choice. The guidelines are:
*Please write the title of the book/article you used somewhere on your sheet.
*Select 100 words; they should be in sequence, not random words on the page. It does not matter where you begin your 100 words in the book/article, just that you tally the letters for 100 sequential words.
*Make tally marks on the grid for EVERY letter in those 100 words. Be methodical and accurate.
*Total your tally marks in the spaces provided. Be methodical and accurate.
*Answer the questions that follow on the page. You should write them on the back of the assignment sheet or you may type them up and staple your answers to the page.
*If you lost or forgot your worksheet, you can get a copy of it by clicking HERE.
Due Tuesday
Pre-Quiz Results:
I have "corrected" your pre-quizzes, but have not yet assessed them. Therefore, you will be able to find your scores on TeacherEase Tuesday night, not tonight.
*Your pre-quiz scores will show up in the "Comments" box of the assignment.
*Again, your pre-quiz scores will not count unless you let me know that you want to count it. The point is communicating with me what you know, think you know, or don't actually know yet. Don't fret, we will work together to patch up any holes that you do have.
*We will be moving forward from wherever you are: this is all about YOU!
