Homework due Friday, 5/2, and Monday, 5/6
No social studies work is due Friday -- unless you need to turn in note cards (all of them) with the outline -- deadline extended. Ch. 1 was due on Thursday.
For Friday, you should have a completed script for English. Make it good!
For Monday, write the introduction for your research paper. It could be one paragraph, or several, depending on whether you write something before Ch. 1 and then a transition between Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 which introduces the rest of the paper, previewing Ch. 3 as well. Or you could just write something as a transition after Ch. 1. Up to you.
