ORANGE DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today we went over the vocabulary words and their definitions...you were supposed to have the words from last time....since people keep forgetting things, I am just going to have you pass everything in at the end of class so I can grade it for participation (and so we can work on it if we need it again!)

You will be presenting your book talks next class! Remember, pick FIVE out of the ten items on the rubric and "report" on those....see me if you have any questions!!!!
