                        NOTES                        DISCUSSION

Students will have a chance Thursday during class to rewrite their essays and redo their plot charts to change their test grades.

ABSENT? You need to get these notes from someone whose notes you trust...and you need to do it fast because we're using this information tomorrow in class. You could use class time tomorrow to copy notes from someone, but then you'll miss class time to actually do the make up test. If you miss the make up test, you'll have to come in before or after school to do it.


WEDNESDAY, October 4
Because of the PLAN test today, these classes did not meet.

ABSENT? You don't need to make up anything, but the crossword puzzle is there if you want to do it. It might help you prepare for next Monday's vocab quiz.


THURSDAY, October 5
Students had the hour to complete a make up test (plot charts and essay question) to earn back some points on their Lit. Terms test. After the REtest, they completed a vocab crossword puzzle (due with vocab assignment on Monday, October 9).

HANDOUT: Vocab 7 Crossword Puzzle (Due w/vocab Monday, October 9)

ABSENT? If you have the notes that we took on Tuesday, October 3, then you should come in sometime before or after school to take the make up test.
