Thanksgiving Break Assignment:
Hello, Everyone:

This assignment is due on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28th (the day after we get back). We will begin work on the assignment Tuesday.
Mr. Saltz will also be lending a hand to help us do an excellent job.
It is an essay assignment that will count as a 100 point test. This is a THEMATIC ESSAY, very similar to the ones you will be asked to complete on the Regents Exam.
