Tomorrow is your first grammar test. Almost all of my grammar tests are OPEN NOTES - This means that you can bring in any study materials that you have created yourself and use them in the test to help you!!! - However, if you don't understand the concepts - the notes won't help!

RLA - H/W
Expand your ideas as much as possible on your 'turning points'  graphic organizer - You should have at least 3 good paragraphs for tomorrow.
