In class: handout on vocabulary list 2 from
Maggie, Girl of the Streets. (copy below)
Test on Monday, March 17 There will be no
retake; so study. Same format as previous.
We are finishing up Maggie today, reading the last two chapters as a class. The graphic organizer is due by the end of class, at the end of the school day or, if you wish, you may come after school. I'll be in the second floor computer lab. Any not turned in are late.
If the predicted snow means we have no school, we'll write the in class essay that you selected yesterday the next two days we have classes. Unfortunately, this will not take place in the computer lab.
