Language Arts-Bray

This week we are reviewing pronoun/antecedent agreement, indefinite pronouns, and reflexive/intensive pronouns.  We are also comparing the characteristics of genres, and we are focusing on mystery/suspense right now.  We are reading several mysteries and looking at how the author builds suspense and foreshadows future action.   There is no vocabulary or DGP quiz this week.  The final exam will be administered on Thursday.  Have a great week!

Georgia History

Ms. Murphy

We will begin reading the novel Behind the Bedroom Wall this week to go along with our unit on World War II.  We will also spend time this week reviewing and studying for exams which will be Thurs. and Fri. 

Students were given a list of all missing assignments last week and need to make sure those are all turned on this week or they will become zeros.
