Please read chapters 39-50 of Cat's Cradle tonight and be ready to discuss tomorrow. You can check out the book in our library, download it, or purchase it through Amazon or Book Bin.
I am hoping to have a fun unit with the book, so please do not force me to give pop quizzes through not reading and not being prepared:)

***Don't forget to turn in AP Test surveys!

Thank you!

Yah it's the final countdown--you're leaving together! The Europe song just seems appropriate. I will see you at 7am with muffins and fruit. We will mentally prepare for test:)

You have been prepared since day one for this test--thanks to Mrs. McElliott's thorough curriculum which covers every single aspect of this exam, especially in the area of writing--so you are well taken care of all year--you know your stuff, and you know it well!

  • Get a good night sleep:)
  • Eat a solid breakfast:)
  • Review for about twenty minutes right before you go to bed.
  • Visit my strategy links from a previous link if you like:)

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
