Last week's activitites 6/13 - 6/16 - 2011

In The Muppet Movie they say, "Life's like a movie, write your own ending." As we finish the school year you have a chance to write your own ending. First study hard for your final, that is in your own hands. Your final will be just vocabulary. The parts of your final will be just like the vocabulary packets you have used all year: critical reading, sentence completion, and analogies. You will have 200 questions worth 800 points, and you will need a number two pencil. Write you own ending to this semester.
