English 6

Each English Unit is divided into two main
sections:
 | Grammar |

Below the Assignment Examples is a link to this week's tentative
assignments. To allow flexibility for further reinforcement, re-teaching,
extension, and/or enrichment, the specific assignments and due dates
MAY CHANGE.*
*Students should be writing the day's objective and assignment in
their notebook under their Daily Language Review (daily
warm-up). Keeping independent track of assignments and
deadlines is a very important life skill for them to practice and
master.
