HW (Class Preparation)
--If you feel it is necessary, read through the packet of additional information pertaining to the common grammar error with which we dealt last class block and complete PRACTICE #4 (located in a manila folder in the "Grammar Hammer Extras" area of the classroom). A quiz about this error will take place sometime in the near future (next week, maybe?).
--Continue reviewing the conventions of literature, bearing in mind that you are expected to apply your knowledge and understanding (on the examination that you will continue taking this week, to Lord of the Flies, to your free reading books, to anything, really!) moving forward.
--NEXT CLASS (Thursday, 3/28), you will continue taking the examination that you started today. Please come prepared!
--If you have not yet selected your final free reading book of the school year, consider doing so ASAP (with the knowledge, though, that you must read a memoir, and we will head to the library soon)--ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS!
