6. Suggestions for Preparation…  Continue taking good notes on the novel we’re reading- when you’re provided with note sheets, fill them out as you read at home.  If I review certain notes in class, be an active listener and take note of additional important information; we won’t have time to review things repeatedly in class, so pay attention.  Create a Quizlet account and make flashcards for the vocabulary words; take the practice tests on the words more than once.  I will offer one-to-one assistance after school from 3:30-4:15 p.m. on May 23, 27 and 28; take advantage and come and see me with any questions.
