This week we will be continuing to review/practice for the semester exam.
There is no specific homework, but in order to do well on the exam, it is STRONGLY suggested that you begin preparing now by studying vocabulary and grammar from the semester, but focusing on the material from 2nd quarter.  A list of specific items was posted last week.  Please refer to that list as you begin to study.

Friday:
We will be completing the WRITTEN part of the exam.  You should focus on the use/construction of the subjunctive and vocabulary in order to do well on this section of the exam.  You will be responding to a writing prompt requesting advice in a given situation.

We will also have our last verb quiz of the semester.

ALL MAKE UP/RETAKES are due on FRIDAY this week.
