Wednesday, August 24th, you will need to bring your library books to class, as there may be some time at the end of class for you to read.

You will need to know vocabulary, character descriptions, dramatic terms, etc. Remember to provide adequate evidence when asked!!!
The research unit is over. If you haven't turned in a paper or made arrangements with me, it is LATE.
I want everyone to be ready to start the new unit about Anne Frank tomorrow. Please bring writer's notebook everyday! Today we will begin our research unit. No homework tonight, but think about topics you find interesting.
I will give the results of the pre-test tomorrow. Again, this is a data-collecting tool, not a grade. Also, we will review parts of speech and begin our research unit.
