Write the term and use it in a sentence (just like on the quiz). Do NOT re-do the terms you did not get wrong! Do not turn your quiz back in unless you have corrections! Remember that you will lose points for misspelling one of our previous spelling terms in your sentence (e.g. “a lot”). These may be corrected in the same way. Important note: You may not re-do corrections. You need to do them right the first time! Take your time; check and double-check your corrections.

  3. Monday, October 6th Spelling Quiz Self-Check Spelling terms from 10/3: Note that none of this week’s terms are proper nouns, so none of them should be capitalized. • our This is a plural possessive pronoun, meaning “belonging to us”: our car, our house, our pencils. • cousin Not spelled like it sounds. • are This is the plural form of the verb “to be,” as in “we are awesome students.” • supposedly You may be pronouncing it wrong, too; it’s not “supposably,” it’s “suppos-ED-ly.” Frequently noticed errors: • The heading goes on the topleft side of the paper. • Sentences must always start with a capital letter. • When hyphenating a word at the end of a line, you must always break it between syllables. You can’t just put a hyphen wherever you feel like it. Example: cous-in, notcousi-n.
