English 10: Blocks 1/2 and 5/6

We are at the end of our unit on short stories and short texts, so we will be having a test next Tuesday. I had students divided in groups and started creating review questions, which we'll use to study on Monday. Students also read "My Left Foot" independently and completed an analysis chart.
