       Does anyone have MCA stuff to turn in?

       Make sure you have your book and study guide!

       Chapter 8 and 9 Quiz: Please put away your books but leave your study guides out. I’ll come around to check your progress. You can use your study guides on the quiz. For the quiz, write me a recap or play-by-play of what happens in chapter 8 and 9. Be as detailed as you can!

       When you’re finished, read chapter 10 and do the study guide for 10. This is due tomorrow. You may read silently or in a small group, but know that it needs to be done by tomorrow, when we’ll read chapter 11 as a whole class.
