VERY IMPORTANT: Please come to school to pick up your OUTSIDERS book  any time this week, starting now! These books are a LOAN, so please take care of them; you WILL BE BRINGING THEM BACK in a few weeks. Please make sure you have your book by MONDAY! Today, I have copied and pasted what we are reading, but you will need an actual book starting Monday!

The books will be on a cart outside the front office.

Find the book with your name on it.
Slang Paragraphs are due Thursday for Periods 1,2,3 and Friday for Periods 5, 6. Create a google doc and share it with me!
Afternoon minutes today are for people who either haven’t started their slang paragraph or who would like help with it.
By the way: NDP = Name, Date, Period.
The First Test is Thursday for Periods 1,2,3 and Friday for Periods 5,6. It will cover: Vocab, Adjectives, the two poems we read, and The Outsiders, plus anything else we talked about.
