The Outsiders Chap. 3-4
Hello O. L. Smith Community,
This week, students started with an open book/open note test about Chapters 1 & 2. The test was graded in class by a peer. Students were told if they did not like their grade, they could take it home and make corrections for homework.
The rest of this week, students will read Chapters 3 & 4. After reading, students will be assigned an informal argumentative essay to complete. It will be due on Monday, January 11th. I will post the assignment sheet once students are given the assignment in class.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
