Class Activities
- ACT Review: If you were not here on this day, you need to use the scoring key which I will give you when you get back to check your ACT and then return your scantron to me with your key stapled to the back. Ensure that you have your English scale score labeled on your table. I am giving credit for this assignment, so if I get it after today for any reason, it must be attached to the back of a completed Late or Make-Up Work Cover Sheet.
