11th Academic English
This is it, guys and girls!!!  The PSSA Reading Tests we've been preparing for are happening Tuesday through Friday of this week!  I know that you are well-prepared to take these tests, so make sure you review the notes we took in class, get a good night's sleep before each of the testing days, and have some breakfast each day before you come to school!  I'm sure you'll do well on these!!!  Monday we'll wrap up the third quarter by taking Vocabulary Quiz #13 and by turning in Newsweek Summary #9.  Imagine, only one more quarter before you officially become SENIORS!!!!

12th Academic English
This is an unusual week for everyone!  PSSA Testing will happen Tuesday through Friday of this week.  On Monday, you will take Vocabulary Quiz #13 and turn in Newsweek Summary #9.  EVERYONE WILL TURN IN THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT ON WEDNESDAY, WHETHER OR NOT YOUR CLASS PERIOD MEETS.  LATE PAPERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  Throughout the rest of the week, those of you who will meet with me will first finish the vocabulary work you didn't complete on Monday, then will watch the film adaptation of Of Mice and Men.
