No Fast 5 today!

Instead, please spend the first 12 minutes of class reviewing your Monday lecture notes on the Korean War and the current conflict. After 12 minutes everyone will clear desks and we will take a multiple choice quiz.

Students who were not here on Monday should read the news story and answer questions. They will have to come in at conference time to take an alternate assessment, or they may take the assessment today.

We'll go over the questions from the news story, then take the quiz.
