Activities for week thirteen 12/6 - 12/10 - 2010

We are finishing Fahrenheit 451 in the next two weeks, and Robert Strauss stated, "Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired - you quit when the gorilla is tired." For you this means you need to put two good weeks in on Fahrenheit 451 if you want success in this unit.
