Lesson Plans for 08-09

TERM 2 LESSON PLANS (OCT. 20-DEC.19)

This term will add ACT vocabulary and ACT Prep practice tests to our 
activities. Both will give added practice to my students getting ready to 
take the ACT. I also have full practice tests available to students to use 
when finished with classroom activities or before school. The more practice, 
the better the score!
