Week 3, Day 1
Objective: Take an AP test to gauge the level of intensity for the real test in May.  Diagnostically it should give us an idea of where you stand at the beginning of this year.  

1. Bell Work: Communication plays a big part in life.  When someone has the option of speaking or writing, when does he or she choose the latter?  In complete sentences, write the circumstances or situations in which writing is preferable to speaking and why.  Write at least 40 words.
