I'll make it an open book quiz, to help them learn it better. Overall, students should be proud of their efforts with their speeches.   Homework is to review the written exam review worksheet. We'll go over the answers on Monday and Tuesday, in preparation for the exam on Wednesday.   Have a great weekend.    Sincerely,   Mr. Jones
