7th Grade Pre-AP final

May 24, 2011

4^th 9 weeks exam

English: 7^th grade Pre-AP

 

Directions: Answer the following questions to the best of your ability. You will not be graded on length; rather, accuracy is what I am expecting. If you can respond correctly in one sentence, then write only one sentence. If it requires seven sentences, then seven sentences is what you should provide. Please email your final answers, due Friday, May 27^th by midnight at: ochukw@neisd.net. You are able to consult your notes for this test. This is not a group assignment; copied work will result in a zero for both parties.
