It's Spring Semester! I'm excited to move into our Argument Unit and a novel: The Great Gatsby. We'll read some of it aloud in class, and students can act out the parts (on a volunteer basis).
No quiz this week: our first vocab/grammar/reading quiz will cover the words from Vocabulary #11 at the end of next week.
