Tomorrow we will discuss the movies of the 1940s. Friday, you will have your first test. It will include the info over the 1940s we covered, and the first 12 words on your Word Wall List. As of right now, I have 12 people failing the class. The following people, this is your official behavior log warning. I have repeatedly told the class to come to VISA to make up these zeroes.
