Click on this link to see what we did during the last class time, (which was Monday).
Today, Wednesday, we'll hand in the My Words. From there, I'll explain the activities for today. We'll be READING (using Activity #4 below) & summarize each page in 2+ sentences (10pts) and then play around with 10 more GRAMMAR TERMS (Activity #1 below). We'll staple the READING SUMMARIES and 20 GRAMMAR TERMS together. All this is due at the end of class time. Please use any additional time to work on P3.
