- Review grades from Prepositional Phrase pre-assessment. Those who have mastered the skill (80%+ grade on pre-assessment) will continue reading Flowers for Algernon. Those who scored below 80 will take part in a brief, interactive Powerpoint review in order to answer the following questions: —What is a preposition? What is a prepositional phrase?
