It’s that time of year…Winter melts away behind us, Spring is in our sights, and we realize “The Testing has already begun.” Joelle Charbonneau🏔📚🎼🇺🇦 #thetesting #LBReads lbeachms

As a pre-reading for The Testing, Ss take part in the QFT process in order to formulate original ?s w/ a focus on Dystopian Society. Ss original ?s will be used as the essential ?s and shape discussions for the unit. Joelle Charbonneau🏔📚🎼🇺🇦 Trevor MacKenzie lbeachms
