Copy the chart. Answer the questions, all on your own paper. Place this page in your notebook.


Students also reviewed HL 7 and received HL 8, which can be found below. Remember to answer all questions on your own paper. You must copy and complete the chart, as well as answer the questions. Place the handout in your interactive notebook.

We completed the notes from the powerpoint (found on My Big Campus as a power point and on this site as a movie). Be sure to now place all handouts in your notebook, write your three leveled Costa questions, highlight questions and answers, and write a lesson summary on your Cornell notes page.

We also completed the chapter mystery handout (see below).
