End of the Week

Next Week: Week at a Glance

Sentence Fluency Assignment: How much do you care about your own learning?

I am going to make this a choice - If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. You make the choice on whether you think this topic is important enough to spend time on. If you decide to do the work, you can google 'sentence fluency'  to find more about the topic.

The Friday Message: How much do you value your education?

Finish off your writing tonight if you have 'pages' at home.  Print it out at home. Those who cannot print at home or those who do not have pages, will be allowed to print in class.

No other H/W tonight as you will have the review and revise sheet to do at home over the weekend.
You must watch these video though to recap today's grammar class
