Handouts
Including: notes, slides, worksheets, projects, instructions, or any other paper/printed document will be posted on this page. You may be asked to print a handout before you arrive to class. You may do this at home, at the school library, or at the public library. You are expected to bring these to class when asked. HINT: If you know we are going to take notes this week, you can print them ahead of time and you won't have to scribble everything down in class. It helps with writer's cramp :-)
ELL Handouts will be posted in RED
PRE-AP Handouts will be posted in BLUE
If the Handout applies to both classes, such as the syllabus, bonus opportunities, or general assignment to gain basic skills it will be posted in normal font.
