Schedule for Week of 16 January

NOTE: You will NOT have to complete the next Quotation/Paragraph assignment for this week NOR will you be given a SAT Vocabulary Test. Spend the time reviewing the literary selections in preparation for the NYS English Regents on Tuesday, 24 January. Refer to the links that I have posted below.

Furthermore, do not attempt to place a "past-due" assignment in the class folder on my desk. I place an "empty" folder on the teacher's desk every day so I am well aware when someone does this. It will not count! You know my policy on late homework assignments and on what you must due if you are absent when an assignment is due!

Wednesday, 18 January: E Band-Final Book Discussion for CITR
