Good morning,

Special shout out to Hector who did a great job as Ponyboy today!

A reminder - class starts at 8. If you are not here at 8 and you miss part of the lesson, you will not receive full points for class.  If you make it a habit of being late, your grade will suffer.

Hopefully this will be the last reminder I have to make of this kind.

2.  What was the title of the newspaper article?

3. What did Randy say about Bob?

Option two:
In a well developed paragraph answer the following question. Upon reading the article about Pony, Johnny and Dally, Two-Bit said, "Ya'll were heroes were from the beginning. You just didn't 'turn' all of a sudden."  Do you agree with this? Explain with evidence from the text.
