ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. ** A SERIES OF TESTS IS COMING ON INTRODUCTION TECHNIQUES, CONCLUSION TECHNIQUES, AND TRANSITION WORDS AND PHRASES. REVIEW YOUR HANDOUTS **

2. There is an increase in the amount of student work being submitted without student names. When you fail to identify yourself, your work lands in my "no name" folder. As a result, that student earns a zero for the assignment. I am not an investigator. My job is to improve the quality of instruction, not track down students who have bad habits.
