We spent the hour watching the Fear section of movie. Make sure you are taking some notes so you have specific things to comment on for your movie review. Since I didn't get a chance to talk about Fate I'll paste my notes in below. Yesterday you got your MC scores back and if you'd like to see the answers or go over any of them come see me for the answer key before or after school or during advisory.
Upcoming: Vocab test Monday and poetry due Friday.
Enjoy the weekend!
