Last Day for Creating a Rough Draft of "On Being an Adult" Essay

Students spent the first ten minutes of class completing vocabulary drills on Membean.

They had the opportunity to retake the first vocabulary test if they missed any questions on their first attempt.

Students spent the remainder of the period finishing their first draft of "On Being an Adult."

Students who finished early were encouraged to spend time on Membean since Senior Composition will not meet on Friday due to the SA picnic and beach vespers.

Homework:  Complete your rough draft if not completed during class time.
