English 12 - Period 3

Use this outline when absent from class to see what was done or use it to plan your week.  Naturally, education is a dynamic process.  This is what I plan for us to do each day; it is not necessarily all that occurred.  Check the last modified date frequently to determine the accuracy of the information.
