Finish reading To Kill a Mockingbird, and complete the take-home test I gave you.  If you lose it, I'm giving it to you the day you get back, and it'll be a closed-book test.  The take-home test is due the day we get back, Monday, April 28th.

You should also be thinking about those writing prompts I gave you.  It wouldn't kill you to write a first draft.

Enjoy your break, everyone!  Stay out of trouble.

Mr. Rabins

Using our list of vocabulary words, we got into groups of four and created a tabloid story about a celebrity, using AT LEAST ten of the words.  The story can be about any celebrity, and you can use any of the words  from our vocabulary list.  You will be graded on whether you used the words correctly. 

If you were absent, you will have to do it by yourself.  You can use the words from chapter 1 if you don't have the list from chapters 2/3 yet.  If you were absent just today, I will be checking to see if you completed your vocabulary lists the day you get back.

HOMEWORK: Read through chapter five by Thursday, and fill out the vocabulary list I gave out in class.  WE WILL BE HAVING A QUIZ ON FRIDAY TO SEE IF YOU'RE KEEPING UP WITH THE READING, chapters one through five.

ALSO, don't forget that your Fahrenheit 451 essays are due on Friday.
