Important Announcement: I am postponing our Contagion film viewing until next Friday (March 13) because apparently World Geography also has a film going on at the same time.

Today in class, we went over the first Hot Zone reading guide — please come get a paper copy of RG 2 (due Friday).

We began prewriting for an essay about altruism, which you will write tomorrow in class.

Here was the distribution of grades for our grammar exam on Monday:

If you scored a 60 or above, you can add 10 points to your grade by completing a grammar review Thursday during lunch. (You must come at the very beginning of the lunch hour.)

If you scored below a 60 and would like to raise your grade up to a 70, you must 1) complete the grammar review during lunch on Thursday and 2) come take a retest during lunch on Friday (come at the very beginning of the lunch period).
