Week of 10/13

There are still several students who did not complete the essay portion of their Freak the Mighty Final Exam.  Those students will finish Monday.  Anyone who is unhappy with the score they received on the essay portion of the test will be able to redo/revise their essay on a loose leaf sheet of notebook paper and resubmit it (with original test) by Friday of this week.

We are still working on Short Story Elements.  There will be a quiz this week on PLOTLINE but no Vocabulary Test again this week.

This information should be in student notebook.
