Announcements:
  • There are still many students who have not yet returned their at-home copies of Language Network and Language of Literature. These were collected last week and need to be returned soon.
  • Grammar quiz was returned last Friday. If you wish to retake the quiz, you may ask me for a pass to come up at lunch on Tuesday. Please bring your original test and a writing utensil. This day is different from what was announced last week. If you want to borrow a grammar book to study, please see me to sign one out.
  • Yearbooks will be distributed on Wednesday. During Core Extension, report to your original group. We have scheduled a yearbook signing during that period. If you didn’t buy a yearbook, bring a scrapbook instead for others to sign if you wish.
