ESOL World Lit Week of October 28 - Nov 1

We will finish Persepolis on Monday. On Tuesday, we will go to the Computer Lab to begin working on the research paper. The test over Persepolis will be on Friday, November 1. We will also begin Unit 3 in Springboard this week. I'm posting a link to the Unit 1 Kahoot because several of you failed the Unit 1 test. I'm going to have those who failed it retake it on Wednesday. If you failed it before, the maximum grade is 80. If you are taking it for the first time (Alicia and Jaime) you can get full credit.
