I SHALL BE UNABLE TO VISIT WITH YOU THIS WEEK. PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ AND ANNOTATE THE TEXT. I AM DOING THAT, AS WELL.

2. PASS OUT ANY MATERIALS FOR ADVISORY STUDENTS AND IF THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE ON THOSE MATERIALS, PLEASE DO IT.


AMERICAN LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION, PERIODS 2, 5, AND 6:

1. CONTINUE TAKING ROLES IN THE CRUCIBLE.

2. STUDENTS WILL MAKE SAY/MEAN/MATTER ANNOTATIONS AS THE ROLE TAKING PROCEEDS.
