*Keep looking for your root words in your outside reading and TV/movie watching. You can earn extra credit each time you bring an example of these words from "The Real World"!!
Bring ALL SUPPLIES to class each day: a book to read, journal, pen and paper, LA folder or binder.
*In general, you will have very little ASSIGNED homework other than class work you do not complete. It is my expectation that you will dedicate a little time each evening to your SRA.
