Test and Book Project Week

If you didn't finish the rough draft of your Death of a Salesman essay, be sure to turn that in as soon as possible.  If you were gone any days from Wednesday-Friday of last week, you get one or two extra days to turn it in for full credit.

Helpful links for the essay:
1.  Essay Packet
2.  Shaping Sheet

This week, we will be reviewing for the test on Monday and Tuesday, taking the test Wednesday, and presenting book projects on Thursday and Friday.

Remember: book projects should be in your hand at the beginning of class Thursday or e-mailed and shared with me before you walk in if you want full credit.
