Week of Nov. 9th....

HOMEWORK THIS WEEK:
1) Do the casas test reading practice; please try level 2 or higher. (Link is on right.) If you print your results I will be happy to look at them with you next week!
2) I have posted a Compass Test Reading Practice to Quia. It is at: Compass Test Reading Practice
Please LOG IN and take the quiz.  (KELVIN: I WILL GIVE YOU A LOG-IN CODE ON FRIDAY.)

3) Continue reading "The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung."  Next week in class I would like to discuss some things relating to the story and your own life such as:
- Did everyone agree that you should come to the US?  What were some arguments for and against it?
- Did you have conflicting feelings about coming here?
- Do you feel you are lucky?  Do you think some people have good luck and some people have bad luck?
- What does the proverb, "Stinking money, fragrant ink" mean?

Also circle words or phrases that you would like to discuss in class.

GOOD LUCK!!
