Wednesday, Sept 15th--Intro to Body Image
You have a guest in class today, please be polite and nice. If you finish early find something quiet to work on and do not get out of your seat until the bell rings.

Concepts and Questions--Introduced on Friday, September 10th

Friday, September 10th
First Days of School Quiz---On a sheet of lined paper answer all 18 questions. You do not have to write the questions, just the answers. Make sure your name and hour are on the paper and turn it into the correct place. When you are done, you may work on something SILENTLY. Do not talk until I tell you all the quiz papers have been turned in. A zero is not a good way to begin the semester!



Weekend Homework
You must bring in a magazine. Make sure it is school appropriate. Remove the address label if it has one. If you cannot get a magazine from home, a friend, a neighbor or a family member you need to send Mrs. Ferris an email explaining why.
