Tuesday, Week Whatever

Before I take someone back there and start throwing things away, please go into the green room and have a good look around to see what you want to keep and/or move to the studio. If you see things you want to throw away, please go ahead and throw them away.

PSAT --

  • First, reread the passage on page 30. Then, review the correct answers to the questions.
  • Read the passage on page 34-35 and complete practice questions.
  • Thank you very much for your notes on the math concepts -- This is extremely helpful for me. What I need for you to do is go back and highlight each numbered concept with a yellow highlighter. Leave your notes, but make the highlights so I can pick out the concepts more easily.
