Unit 3:Lesson B

We talked about life lessons when we began the unit. 

Where can we learn life lessons? 

• from a personal experience
• from watching something happen between other people.

"We probably have more opportunities for life lessons than we realize"

4. leave a question blank = don't write an answer to it. 
5. count toward your final grade = be part of your final score

7. catch up on your work = do all the work on your desk that you had to do
8. miss a class = fail to attend it
