Songs to study in class

In our last class, we saw John Lennon and Forest Gump speaking with each other on a TV talk show. The conversation was very similar to the lyrics of John Lennon's song "Imagine." You can find the lyrics to this song here. In our next class I would like to listen to this song with you and study the lyrics.

There is another song I would like to introduce to you. It's called "If I Had a Hammer." I mentioned it in class in regard to a question about the meaning of "would" in the sentence "He would like to thank Mr. Cunningham." You can find the lyrics to this song here. Actually, I should have introduced this song to you during our last class but I forgot. Sorry.

Retest (or "Make-up Test")

As I said today in class, I will test you on Scout and Atticus on December 15.  For those of you who took the first test on Scout and Atticus this will be a "retest" (though I may change some of the questions).  For those of you who were absent that day, this will be a make-up test.
