Read the interpretation of the Salem Witch Hysteria that you received and fill out the summary sheet.

Note that some of you have 3 summaries to write and will need extra sheets.

Spend some time looking over your practice ACT Reading test results.  Be sure to mark the ones you missed on the pink sheet and see where your strengths or weaknesses are in relation to those reading skills.  Also note what your raw score converts to for an ACT reading score on the back of the pink sheet.  Would you be satisfied if that was your actual score reported to colleges in the spring?
