I know that a lot of you were concerned about your grades on quizzes. The following assignments will, if done correctly and turned in on time, replace quiz grades that you are unhappy about. The analysis should be no longer than one page and should include textual evidence. Good Luck!
These replacement assignments are due on Monday, December 5th during your class period. The changed grade will not be reflected on Friday's Progress Report.

Chapter 7-8 quiz ---
