Students will turn in notes over all the above authors and works on test day. In addition, our classes did "Break, Break, Break" and "Crossing the Bar" by Tennyson and "When I Was One and Twenty" by Housman. Although these poems are not on the test, notes will still be turned in because we did cover them in class.
The Vocabulary #5 Test is Monday, April 19th. Students will turn in original sentences using the vocabulary words with context clues.
