English 10--1/6/2020 (BDF) ABSENT DUE TO ILLNESS

Substitute directions are in red.

 Please share the following with the students in the Block 2 class:

 A Note from Mr. Martin:

 Hi all,

 On Christmas Eve, I came down with some sort of illness, and unfortunately, despite feeling better for a stretch of time at the end of last week, I have fallen ill again and need some care and additional time off.  I did the best I could to put together some quick plans for today.  I hope that you "take care of business" today in my absence without issue and, of course, wish that I could return and hope that I will see you soon!
