Alright, which one of you has secretly invented a time machine? How we got to the week before Midterms is unfathomable to me. (Don't know what "unfathomable" means? Take the roots apart, and look up the word fathom.) We will begin the week by completing the section on irregular verbs. Then, we will tackle the Unit 8 V & R test. Beginning with Day 3, all the way through next Tuesday, we will be reviewing for the Midterm.
PLEASE NOTE: You should have obtained a mystery novel by this point. If you still need suggestions, see the link on the right of the blog ------>
The Midterm will consist of two parts: a written portion, and a comprehensive content portion. You will hear more about this in class. If you have a difficult time with tests in general, you may wish to consider an alternative project which I will also explain in class.
The written portion is required for all students, and will occur in class on 12/18 and 12/19. Again, you will hear more about this next week.
TUTORIAL/STUDY SESSION for the Unit 8 test will be TUESDAY MORNING before school.
