Please Note: Since several students approached me Tuesday afternoon requesting that I postpone the SAT Vocabulary Quiz (List 13) until Monday, 14 January, I have decided to do so. This means that you will have to take TWO quizzes the week of 14 January. They indicated that there were taking several mid-terms...so I complied with their request rather than investigate whether this was true...

This is a mandatory assignment-you are "enrolling" yourself...

Just a reminder: Even though we have a short week when school resumes-you will still have your SAT Vocabulary Quiz: List 12 (do not forget to review the words on List 11)-Friday, 4 January.

"The answers you get from literature depend upon the questions you pose." Margaret Atwood
