Note: I will not be accepting late work and there won’t be a retake for SAT 6 & 7 for the remaining week+ of the card marking.
The graphic organizer for “Dirk the Protector” was collected today. The vocabulary worksheet was returned with a grade.
We continued with our unit on Memoirs as students were able to choose 1 of 5 memoirs to focus on for the next few class periods.
I will be grading the SSR Reflections (12 of them) and the Bell Work (5 of them) in the notebook on Thursday and Friday. Below is the list of all the topics that you must have covered in there. Make sure you have the current novel you are reading with you. I will not accept this late and it will be a summative grade.
