Eighth graders, as you prepare for the first part of the LEAP on Tuesday, know that I am so proud of you! You have worked very diligently these past few weeks, and I know it will pay off in your test scores. Get a good night's rest. Eat healthily, and don't stress. You know everything you need to know! For instance, what are the parts of a narrative? I know that you just rattled off in your brain--It's a story with characters, setting, and a plot, and the plot has a beginning, middle, and end. See, I told you! You know it all! Good luck! Break a leg! (By the way, "break a leg" is a common ______________________?... see, you're so ready!)
