THURSDAY: Dialectical Journal check-in.  Close reading - Huckleberry Finn excerpt.  Vocabulary activities.  Keystone excerpts and review.  HW: Read Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 7.

FRIDAY: Vocab and Huckleberry quiz.  Tips/strategies for taking entire AP exam, review exercises in groups.  HW: Work on Independent Reading and dialectical journal over the break.  Review for AP Practice Exam.  Complete any missing work for partial credit and bring back after break.

Most importantly, enjoy the break and get plenty of rest!  I look forward to seeing everyone again in April.
