Welcome You are in Mr. Conkey’s Biology class :) Please find your seat

Favorites game! First, put your name and class period on the top of the page. Next, fill out your favorites in the longer lines provided. Once everyone is finished filling out their favorites, you must all walk around the room, introduce yourselves to others, and find out if they have the same favorites as you. Rules: One person per favorite You have to know their name (first name and last initial printed on small line) You may only sit when time is called

Test! Please do not begin the test until you are instructed to do so. Please complete the test without talking. If you have done this test before, please work quietly and do what you are supposed to do.
