Activities for week thirteen 11/24 - 11/25 - 2014

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 keep working for the whole semester. Next we will be working on writing an expository essay and we will be working on the Greek tragedy Antigone. You are off to an awesome start with our regular vocabulary program, we had a third of you with perfect scores. Have a great Thanksgiving break and come back full refreshed and ready to work. Remember you will only have two days the rest of the semester to make up late work and test.
