Be sure to re-read the two mock provincial exams that you have in your notebook. If you were absent today, hand in your Jan. USSR form and your vocabulary notes and take the vocab. test on Monday.
You will perform well on Tuesday if you arrive well rested. Bring water. Dress in layers. You will need to bring a pen and a pencil. You must write in ink!
Arrive by 8:45 Tuesday morning. Return texts and USSR books to the library. If you have any books from my room, please return them to the shelf.
If you have books at home you would like to donate, please bring me the books.
Thanks for a great year.
Options for next year and grade 12
English 10 -- English 11 E / AP Language and Composition (Linear)

-- English 11 (similar in structure and academics to English 10) For those who want a similar experience next year. You found the pace, the rigor, the difficulty met your needs.
