Blizzard Bag: W.W. I Review

What a terrible time to have a Snow/Rain Day when we were scheduled to test today on our unit. I am going to leave you with  an alternative test review by accessing the Blizzard Bag that is titled W.W. I Review and answer the questions. The questions are posted below. You may make a copy and submit your responses on line or bring them to class when we return. If you feel you know this material extremely well you may choose to write your essay from home as an alternative assignment and that will leave you with completing the rest of the test when we return. Please email me your essay if that is the option you go with. I hope you all have a Wonderful Holiday!
