12th and 11th grades: You MUST bring your copy of the book being read in your class (Judah: bring your handouts).  You will not be able to take the midterm without it.  One last time: I do not compose tests that can be answered by skimming through Sparknotes and other sites of that ilk.

9th grade: You will all be given the appropriate handouts on the day of your test.

To all Lit. classes: Needless to say, you should be up-to-date with your reading assignments.  To those few who have earnestly endeavored to convince me that there is no square foot on this earth that has just the right ambience for you to open a book, be advised that I will not be conducting classes on any other planets in the foreseeable future.  Just do what you’re supposed to.

AP Psych: Review your notes for the last unit.

Avrohom Rotberg

Science paper: Pick one topic from what we learned this semester. Write a two page paper on this topic. You must use at least two sources besides our text book for your information. Due on Tue. 1/29.

To all Eng. Lit. classes: Your midterms will be based on the books we are currently reading.  Make sure that you stay up-to-date with assigned readings and that you do the written cw and hw tasks.  Remember that you are also “in training” for the Regents.  You must be able to analyze and synthesize major themes and relevant details.

To the AP Psych class: Your midterm will be based on topics covered in our Sex/Gender/Sexuality unit as well as material covered in our next unit up to the date of the test.  I strongly urge you to do all assigned readings and to develop more effective study methods (not mere memorization).  Do not hesitate to discuss any difficulties with me; I am here to help.
