Week #5

Hello! I hope you all have had an exciting weekend despite the devestating loss to Valencia on Friday night. I saw a few of you there and you have collected the extra credit. Congrats! Remember, if I told you to stay with me at break, you need to remember to do so, in order to bring up your grades.

This week we will be giong through the short story by Tim O'Brien, "Where Have You Gone Charming Billy?"
