Reprints [|Video Tutorial on how and WHY to use this page]

Most of the handouts I distribute in class are available as files below. The most recent files are at the top of the list. Click on a title to open it. Many of the homework page files are in Microsoft Word, so you can save the document as a file on your home computer and complete the work right on the document. If you prefer to email the work instead of printing it, that is acceptable.

No excuses for not having work! **This page is a backup, and should not be depended on as your sole means of doing homework.** If you do not bring home the hard copies I give you, not having a printer or losing internet access is NOT an acceptable excuse for not having work. Even if you do not have a printer, use these pages to view the work, and complete on a separate sheet of paper if necessary.

Files below are Microsoft Word Documents

//Study Guide for FINAL HOUSE B ELA test// scheduled for June 8

//Out of the Dust// Literature Circle worksheet copies: below are separate files to print out EACH page in the Homework page packets and the Wordfinder/Group Discussion Summary packet each student received in class.

I just went to view and enlarged to 200 or 400%.
