LA - students took an Appositive quiz during class, they were allowed to use their notes. They also have a take home quiz as well which is due on Monday May 9th. This is also an appositive quiz (10 appositives in their paragraph). I passed out the 4 square organizational sheet so students could start to organize their final project/paper.
