*Please have your independent reading choice (I suggested "Night" by Elie Wiesel).
You will be reading on Mondays/Thursdays and thus establishing our twice a week reading time.
Please get your credit.
* CAHSEE review will occur weekly. Do Nows will be centered around review twice a week.
Expect new seats, and in an in-class activity (Cultural Symbol Reflections)
