    Monday: Due at beginning of class (carried over from Thursday)- annotate two articles and answer open-ended questions for each.  This assignment must be done in Classroom.  All students have been instructed on how to annotate on the computer.

    Students will sharpen test-taking skills for tomorrow's exam.
