Week #7

Alright! Only THREE more weeks until the end of the quarter! For the rest of that time we will be working on the short story "The Most Dangerous Game". We will continue with our literary terms, parts of speech, and idioms. PLEASE study those. It seems as if you have put those on the back burner...as it was reflected in your tests. Let's work hard on the rest of the unit.
