October 28-November 1

Get ready for a week of testing in American Literature!

We are finishing up Unit 2: Revolutionary Literature this week and the students will be reviewing for the exam on Tuesday and taking the exam on Wednesday. 

On Thursday, the students will be quizzed on set #4 of their vocabulary lists.  I have included that list below.

Also, I wanted to inform you that I exdended the due date of the students' documentary film/paper to Monday, November 4.  Hopefully, your child is working diligently on this very important project.

Have a great week!
