We wrap up our unit on the mystery genre and move forward to reading Peak, by Roland Smith. Unit 9 test occurs this week, as well as a lesson on linking verbs and a special lesson on Friday when we have the confluence (Look it up!) of Tu B'Shevat and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday observance. The mystery boxes will be displayed in the media center. Please be patient regarding grading. This type of project takes a significant amount of time for me to evaluate.
UNIT 9 pre-test tutorial on TUESDAY MORNING.
Please note that we will be taking the next week's vocabulary from the novel, rather than from the Sadlier-Oxford book. There will be no root words for this unit.
