Three (3) Week ASSESSMENT

Today you will be taking a 3-week ASSESSMENT.

Please take your time and answer each question carefully.  When you are finished, please work silently or you may read.

One suggestion is to work on your song lyrics for analysis.  You may send me the name and artist and I will print them out for you.

If you've already gotten your song lyrics you may work on vocabulary.com.

Make a great day!
