- Ask questions in class about facts and ideas you are unsure about
- Make a list of the important events that take place in the play
- See me in S.O.S. or during lunch for a review of anything you are unsure about
*If you have been absent during this unit at all, copy the notes from that day from someone in the class, and then show me the notes when you are finished. You are responsible for all the material covered in this unit, whether you missed school or not.
Happy studying,
Ms. Walsh
