Test Review
Our test review for this unit will not be ‘typical.’
We’re going to use several activities combined together to create an excellent review.
However, if you miss the review day (11/24) it will be more difficult. Here is a copy of what we will do in class.
The test will be on 12/2
Those of you who fell behind, or missed something, may use this also in order to catch up.
