Reminders for Tuesday, 11/22/11

Tuesday is the LAST day I will accept any late homework.  Make sure you don't fall behind!

HOMEWORK
Study for your 3 quizzes on Tuesday!  The quizzes will be on your vocabulary words (listed in the last post) and on Chapter 3, sections 2 and 3. 

Study your notes that we took in class, re-read the sections, and make sure you know your vocabulary words because they may be on multiple quizzes.

Have a great weekend! 

P.S. -- Keep up with the blog for a possible extra credit question this weekend.
