Don't Forget To Do Your Vocabulary.

Some of us received our books today and others will have to wait until tomorrow. We went over the vocabulary words for Chapters 1-3 of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and checked out the link "See What You Know" on the SMART Board. Please use this link to check your understanding of the new vocabulary and copy the definition in your vocabulary notebook. You can use dictionary.com if you are not sure of an answer.

Tomorrow is the test on "Small Steps" and your book is due in addition to your summer reading assignments.

Any papers that require a signature should be returned tomorrow, September 1, 2011.

Question on the test tomorrow: Explain the metaphor "small steps." What does it tell the reader about Armpit's character and personality?

Hints for the test: In which city and state did the novel take place?

From whose perspective is the novel being told?

Who owned Raincreek?

What famous baseball player signed "the Bat" in the novel?

Where did Armpit fly to see K. DeLeon?

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!
