We completed the reading of “A Christmas Carol” today. Students took their Vocabulary quiz over terms 1-12 on ilearn and turned in their worksheet for scenes 1-4. They continued to work through their metacognitive table which is due on Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish metacognitive table to turn in on Monday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have missed any part of the play, you must read it – simply look up A Christmas Carol by Fred Gaines PDF for the reading. You may try looking up the audio to see if it is available. You have a quiz over the play on Wednesday and must be prepared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
