English 10 Meets in Block A in Room 208. You should attend all your classes -- and stay for the whole lesson, as this is when we do all group work and get the information and background that is needed to complete assignments. You should also plan to attend at least two flex blocks er week with your teacher, Mrs. Carmichael. At the moment, my flex schedule has me in Room 212 in Block B, and in Room 126 in Block F. Students who attend classes and keep up with their assignments tend to be the students who do well.
