Assignments due for the week of December 7th, 2020
PSAT/SAT/ACT Test Prep
Don’t forget to get me the ACT Reading test if you have not already done so. (I will send it to you if you did not get it for some reason.) Also, in the next two days, I will send you the ACT Math test. Before taking it, go over page 47 (Textbook Algebra and Coordinate Geometry Questions) and make sure you know how to do the ten processes listed there. Get help if needed or go to Khan Academy and practice your math there. Remember that you can keep the test for your notebook. Send me only the answer sheet. You can take the test on the same answer sheet as your other tests.

U.S. Government
We reviewed past lessons today with a game in preparation for our test on Voting, Electoral College, Political Parties, President, and Vice President. I will send you the test in the next two days. You can return it to me via a scan or a camera shot, or you can type the answers in an email.
