Today we read the play "This is a Test" and we worked on our paragraphs from last day. Those paragraphs are due on Monday.
There will be a Sightlines 10 test next long block -- Wednesday, Oct. 7th
There will be 20-30 multiple choice questions. There will also be a section where you have to read a story, answer questions, and write a literary composition.
You will be responsible for knowing the following pieces of writing:
Meditation XVII
I Am a Rock
The Face in the Pool
This is a Test
Self-Portrait
Nonconformist
The Bicycle
Envy
The Ninny
My Body is My Own Business
