Final English Homework for the Year!

Remember the commonly confused word pairs that we've been working on?  Two assignments:

1)  Develop your own exercise sentences for a "quiz."  Write 10 sentences, based off of the ten word pairs that you have selected to work on.

2)  Create a full-color mnemonic device poster for one of those pairs.  Some kids choose to do an acronym or a imagery sentence to help us be able to remember the spelling and meaning difference between each word in the pair.  The poster must have a picture, though the mnemonic device must be able to make sense without a picture.

Both assignments due Friday!

Acronym example (Affect vs. Effect):

Remember
Affect
Verb
Effect
Noun

Imagery Sentence example (Whole vs. Hole):  Whole Whales Have Holes
