I know you'll all be sad to learn I won't be here today since I'll be at the TAKS Security meeting. You may be even sadder to learn you have another writing prompt.
Actually, the writing in this class was phenomenal last time. And thanks Jennifer and Hugo for getting in your work before class.
Now go to http://my.hrw.com/support/hos/hostpdf/hosthsprompts.pdf. It's a pdf file but you all should have adobe or foxit reader. You can choose from either the first or second writing prompt; "High School Cause and Effect Prompt" or "High School Definition Prompt."
I'm not going to dictate the length of the essay but I know you'll want to do your very best and work on this until about 2:00.
Then, go to here. Download the practice test and answer every question to the best of your ability. Some of the questions are unfamiliar but I'll let you use the Internet to look up the answers you don't know. Since you'll be able to look up the answers I know you'll do very well and probably will give a pop quiz next class.
E-mail both assignments to varacenter@gmail.com by the end of the period.
