Congratulations! You survived Day #1 of the 2014 MCHS PSAT SUMMER WORKSHOP. Here's a quick reminder about what you need to do for homework.
TO DO LIST:
1. READ: Sample parody from The Onion: "Congress Passes Americans with No Abilities Act"
2. If you were
DILATORY, finish the
HARBINGER worksheet for turn-in. Then don't be late tomorrow! Oh, and if you want to sing along, we've provided a link here and on our
PSAT Links Page.
3. Get your photo permission slip signed right now and put it where you won't forget it.
4. Great job on the "201 WORDS YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY HAVE TO KNOW" CROSSWORDS. If you didn't bring 'em in, bring 'em when they're done. We're hoping that's tomorrow!
5. Work on your parody and the skit. If want to see samples and pictures, click these links.
