Next Week

• If you missed your subjects and predicates test on Friday, you will do it on Wednesday.
• If you did not turn in your suspense writing (many people from C/D class) make sure it is copied on the 'Suspense summative' doc in your drive. I will just enter this grade as zero after Wednesday if I do not receive this work!
• There are still a few people who are missing grades for identity project. I will not continue to chase you! Get this work to this resubmitted work file as soon as possible.

All classes: Your 'quote sandwich' from Friday's class should be turned into this link. Students to copy and paste that writing in this document here.  You will be given 15 minutes in class on Wednesday to do any finishing touches. My expectation is that you work just as hard with a substitute as you do when I am in class. This  work will be graded!

How does your piece compare with this one?

Next Week
