There will be nothing posted here about the quiz.
So if you happen to be looking back here every now and again to see an update you can stop.
I'm thinking that most likely nothing was shared but the fact remains that someone asking about questions that they sent me is still NOT good. It also shows me that some people want to not do work while they try and mooch off of others.
Those of you that read the book and understand running themes in the book should have little difficulty tomorrow.
Goodnight

Uncle Tom's Cabin
8th Grade,
As a teacher I don't like hearing about any of you potentially sharing information on questions that are being sent to me for this quiz. It feels a bit dishonest and we dealt with something like that last year. So that makes this even more disconcerting.
I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with Uncle Tom's Cabin for tomorrow.
I wanted to do something similar to what I did last week but since many of you have this email chain going around I get a little nervous.
You need to be responsible for yourself.
If I can't trust you then that could mean more serious repercussions for the year.
You may see another post later but probably not.
Mr. Havner
P.S. I don't mind if you study together. Please do that as much as you want to and if you've done the work you should be fine. Learn to trust yourself! Please! Learn!
