Your quiz on Thursday will be dictation on the new definitions in Unit 5 that include "shedda" "seen" and "sheen". I counted 15 in total. So you will be given dictation from that list, as well as a vocab section asking you about words from the same list.

Your امتحان will be on your المفردات و المضارع المنصوب from chapter 10. You will be asked a task much like what we did in class with تمرين 9.
