Thursday, April 6th

Lesson Objectives - Students will make corrections for the Vocabulary Unit 12 quiz.  They will then examine samples of public service announcements (PSA's).  Eventually, students will create their own public service announcements based on their own interests.  They will present these to the rest of the class at the beginning of next week.
Homework - Students should continue reading for April's Reader Response Packet.  Many students have not submitted the packet for March!
