As we look ahead to our Georgia Milestones test, to be given on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, May 2, 3, &4, we will start to work on some specific review for it, including a narrative assignment related to Of Mice and Men that you will complete this week. I have attached the assignment below, and we will begin it in class on Monday.
We will also begin work on a long term research project this week that will be our focus several days a week for the next few weeks. I'll explain more in class and post more information here.
Finally, we will introduce The Great Gatsby late this week or early next and begin reading and discussing it.
