Bell Ringer: February 4/5
Please hand in your body paragraph worksheets to the
basket. Please make sure they are all stapled together
and your name is on the front page.
Grab 4 different colored markers or colored pencils from
the bins – or you can use your own highlighters. You could
share with a neighbor if we run out of supplies.
Keep your typed rough draft on the corner of your desk.
You will be editing it today in class.
Finishing up the Quiz: 2A, 4A
Since we had multiple people leave last class period for the
AP/CC discussion in the auditorium, I need those people to
come see me so they can finish their quiz.
If you were able to finish, please find another person who has
nothing else to do right now and have them read through your
draft, finding any errors they see in spelling, grammar,
punctuation, as well as to see if there are parts that do not make
sense.

crops and having ALL of it taken away revolted by destroying their

died while there.

the reason everything was working out so well.

those who still supported Trotsky).
