Friday 1/25/08

We completed our discussion of Section 1 of Chapter 19.  Make flash cards.  Last nine weeks, I worked with you on being able to read a section and take your own notes.  You are now going to do that on your own with Section 3.  Read the section paragraph by paragraph, putting into your own words any new main ideas that you find in the reading.  Use the same notes format that we have been using in class.  Make flash cards.  This work was begun in class.  Any work not completed in class should, as always, be completed for homework.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
