As every week with homework, students should be organizing their time to finish by due date.  By now, students know how long Vocabulary, crossword puzzles and Atlas worksheets take.  They should plan their Monday-Wednesday apropriately.  The Book Report was handed out last week.  Many students had already finished.  This assignment SHOULD NOT have been held off until the last minute.  Students were instructed to begin at least one or two answers by last Thursday.
