Hey Mr. Moshe this is Andrew Skorupa from 2nd block and I have been looking at the menu options trying to figure out which one to do. I have made my decision and I will do the one on the NAACP and the Create your own test. Since they are due next week December the fifth, and I do not have a Language of Literature book(just the internet) I was just wondering If you will tell me the stories from Unit five whenever you can.
Thank you,
Andrew

If you have the internet, then you’ll be able to access all the stories (etc.) through classzone. See me in class to get the activation code if you do not already have a registration for it. Now go enjoy your weekend. See you Monday.
