How to Do These Assignments
Start these assignments by tapping on the underlined words. Some of the assignments simply require you to read the materials. You may find some of the information on tests. Other assignments require you to type short paragraphs into the question box and submit the material. It is then sent via the Internet to your teacher. Some assignments are multiple choice questions which you must answer and then send the results to your teacher. Keep up with the weekly work. Ask for help from the English Lab staff or your teacher.
