--One-pagers are due in class next time (Thursday, 3/17) for those students who have yet to complete one. We will use some class time on Thursday to complete one-pagers. Students who have already submitted a one-pager will engage in free reading during this time. ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS! If you are going to be absent next class, take a one-pager before leaving today so that you can complete and submit the one-pager prior to leaving on Thursday.
On the backburner:
- ACT nonfiction passages and multiple choice question
