In preparation for being gone next week (if I am not the one of the chosen 14 to be on the murder case, I go back into the jury pool for four days next week), Mr. Bolin will still teach the grammar and I will give the background information on The Crucible so Mr. Bolin can teach The Crucible if I am on the murder case for three weeks.
