Week of 10/7/13

On Monday the students will be reviewing plot, author's perspective, and tone. They will have a test on these skills on Tuesday, October 8th.  We will be reviewing the PSSA terms and author's point of view all week.  They will have a test on these two things on Friday.  Please make sure your child studies the PSSA terms.  We will use the game eggspert on Wednesday and Jeopardy on Thursday to review.  If they know the terms, it will be an easy 100 to help boost their grade.  Have a great week!!!
