about the upcoming unit test
On Friday there will be a test on Unit 2, Cooperation.
For this test, you will have to write two paragraphs in
class. I will give you the entire class period to do your writing, but you
cannot use any notes. Each paragraph will be worth 100 points towards your
quarterly grade.
For part one, I will choose one of the stories from unit
two and you will have to write a paragraph explaining how the characters in that
story worked together as a team to solve a problem or achieve some goal. You
will be allowed to look at the book.
For part two, I will choose a question from either page 69
or page 91. You will have to write a paragraph that answers the question.
