Hello!
I hope you all had a good weekend:)
*Synthesis Essays: You should be working on the draft of your essay…my hope is that your outline is complete.
*We will collaborate a date for your short story test. It is in two parts:
1) Reading comprehension (Thursday October 6th?): You will be given a short story to read. You will then answer 8 or 9 multiple choice questions and write a paragraph response (you can’t really study for this other than review how to structure a paragraph response).
2) Short Stories Unit Test: Tuesday or Wednesday October 11th or 12th.
What to prepare:
Stories on Test:
1)Identities 2) Long Long After School
3) A Teachers’ Rewards 4) The Most Dangerous Game

7) Dave Cooks a Turkey
