PLEASE NOTE:  When we read The Importance of Being Ernest" you will be expected to refer to your study guide handed out at the  beginning of the unit and answer the questions pertaining to the reading done in class.  Once we have completed an entire act, the study-guide questions for that act will be due the NEXT SCHOOL DAY.   It is very important to A) follow the in-class reading carefully, asking questions to clarify, if needed, B) complete study guide questions immediately and on-time, and C) ATTEND CLASS.  If you are absent, you will be responsible for reading the missed scenes on your own time.  There will be a final test once we finish reading the script.
