“Tutorial” Schedule.

Checking KBARR (/18).


“Mental Floss, 9/6.”

  3. What is the next thing in this sequence. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ____.  See if you can fill in the blank correctly.
  4. When does 1+1+1=1?

HOW? WHERE? WHEN?

  2. –her creamed corn   –yelling   –at the baby-sitter   –onto the floor   –Jennifer flipped
  3. –was rising  –as I listened  — go on and on  –to Johnny’s quiet voice  –a panic  –in me

“Plot Mountain, 9/6.” Use the diagram in your notebook.
