Watch out for examples of past perfect in the stories you read...

Last G.C. tomorrow in the library. The questions for the last QC with Mrs. Bucknall's class are:

Luke's character was not believable; he changed too much which was not realistic.

Among the Hidden was an interesting adventure; however, like most books, the ending was predictable with no real message to the story

Announcements: It's not about the practice...it's about the performance! What will  you do tomorrow to make sure your team is professional, poised, passionate? - last chance to shine in front of the whole school...
