LESSON FOR THE DAY
1. It's good to start with something strange (to get you interested): 9th grade rap

2. The objective of the lesson is quite simple: 1) to read aloud from SRJs and talk a little more about "A Christmas Carol", and 2) to do some FSW/

3. There are two reasons for the lesson: I love to read your SRJs and your FSWs
Thanks for everything!
