Reviewing My Semester with the FUN WITH ENGLISH 7A & 8A Textbooks/Mr. Danoff's FWE 7A Lesson 12

Introduction
I chose to skip the activities on page 58 and 60, because they are not related to the Surprise Party being discussed in the rest of the chapter.

Aside from the textbook activities I will have the students plan their own surprise party - a suggestion by Mr. Brown. Then after we have finished the textbook I will ask the students to create invitation cards for the surprise party they planned.
