CWoD - MYOPIA
- Get a copy of the novel from the crate on top of the Chromebook cart. Keep track of your packet - there will not be extras made. (you will have roughly 5 minutes at the beginning of class to do THIS and get your CWoD completed before we begin reading). Keep your background info notes handy as you ready to refer to as we venture further into the novel.
There are no extra copies of the study questions - so if you lost yours or did not get one last week for some reason, you'll have to print your own from here:
