English for week of March 3

Hi guys-sorry I missed a week of Romeo and Juliet; I'm sure Mr. Hay did a great job with Act 2. I'll be back next week.

Speaking of Act 2, the Act 2 quiz for classes 2, 4, and 7 will be next Tuesday. The quiz for 1 and 5 will be later next week.

I hope all of you are keeping up with Indie Reading--it's really important that you spend time reading at home too.

I have been told that some of you took advantage of my absence by cutting classes. Those of you who cut classes and missed the Prologue presentation will receive a zero--that zero will not be dropped and there will be no make up. The take-away lesson--there are consequences for your actions. Bad decisions usually result in bad consequences.

Mr. Graves
