No Red Ink Diagnostic
On weeks when we don't do Typing.com, you will be asked to practice some grammar. Today I need you to take a small "diagnostic" quiz so that I can see if you already know some of these skills. They are things that should be familiar to you, even if they aren't easy.

If you are absent, you will need to come see Ms. Black or email her for the class code.
