Monday: November 30th

Please complete the following in numerical order:

1). Answer ALL THREE questions (thoroughly and completely) on Edmodo https://www.edmodo.com/  (your final online discussion-open book quiz).  Remember: You will turn in your novel tomorrow at the beginning of class and then we will go to the library to take your A.R. (Accelerated Reader) test.

2). Start thinking about what your last S.S.R. book for the quarter will be.  (Keep in mind, it might require more out-of-class reading to finish the book).  There will be an end-of-the-semester project and comprehension questions connected with your choice, so choose a book/novel that truly interests you!  If you're looking for more ideas, watch (use headphones) some of the book trailers below.  Also do some searches on our school library's Destiny Quest: http://destiny.fpsweb.org/quest/servlet/presentquestform.do?site=100&alreadyValidated=true

3). Prepare for Friday's Roots Quiz:  https://quizlet.com/30979162/test?matching=on&mult_choice=on&tf=on&prompt-with=1&limit=18

4). You were given an updated grade sheet today.  Anything missing/not done can still be turned in (get rid of those zeros!!!).  Work on this and personally turn in any late work to me today in an effort to raise your grade in the class.  Build up that "cushion" before the final exam.
