  ENGLISH 9: Friday, June 12

  by Shannon Tong - Friday, 12 June 2015, 11:30 AM

   

  Please begin to review for you final exam.  Begin by re-reading the short stories that we have covered this semester.  All of the stories can be found on the class website and your notebooks.  Also review your poetry and short story terms.  Finally, be clear on how to write a literary paragraph.  Read notes on how to write a literary paragraph and review the comments on your marked work.

  Have a great weekend!
