Video Pop Quiz

In class we didn't really do anything. We reviewed the video from yesterday for a few minutes then took a very easy six question pop quiz. Then we got our grades back from the quiz. Because Mr. Schick is so nice he is letting the people who don't do their blogs catch up today but he said he won't let us do it again so everyone needs to start doing their blogs. Now we are doing nothing and talking about how English and no red ink sucks.
