Quote Sandwiches

I am missing Memoirs from these students: Min Jung, Luke, Lukas,  Sam, Olivia G., Chris,  Elena, Alexa. B - Some students handed their work in without names. If your name is here, email me your work again to make sure you get it graded before the break. Check in with me if you do not see your grade in powerschool. - Yes - grades are live!

Kudos to Jackson Reeves who asked to retake his 'Opening and Delayed Adjectives/Adverbs test and moved his grade up to an 'A'

EXAMPLE TEXT:

In the 2004 article titled Pushing too Hard  published on the nbcnews.com website, Dr. Jordan Metzl  argued that “Kids sports have become much more competitive.”  As a medical director at the of the Sports Medicine Institute for Young Athletes in New York, Metzl must certainly hear about hundreds of cases of sporting injuries caused through excessive practice or over intense training sessions due to the competitive nature of  school sports programs nowadays.
