March 2-6: 9th Grade Lit and Comp

This Week: This week, we will begin reading William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. We will be reading the graphic novel in class. I have a class set, so you will not need to purchase your own copy of the book. Please see me or the media center specialists if you need to "check out" a copy of this book for home use. While you read you will fill out your graphic organizer which is due on the day of the Romeo and Juliet Test, Wednesday, March 25.
