...Check-in.
I thought i'd throw out an early note regarding our last full week of the trimester coming up: an important one regarding finalizing course materials and preparing for the final exam.
Soooooo go ahead and please check out the newly update "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right at your leisure.
Then pay attention to these reminders:
**English 9 students...we have a vocab quiz on Monday, and we'll start the next (and last) week of vocab that day as well. Please remember to bring blank note cards once again! Also, be prepared to hand in ALL Odyssey-related items on Monday as well. WE HAVE A TEST OVER THE ODYSSEY AND GREEK RESEARCH ON TUESDAY!!
**English 11 students...we have a terms quiz on Monday, and you should be up to at least pg. 60 in our Night reading. Chapters 1 and 2 of your study guide should be complete as well, since we'll review those on Monday. And, of course, continue that RESEARCH (all of which is due on Friday)!
Let me know how/if I can help at all this weekend, guys. Take care.

Reminders:
**You will be turning in ALL narrative items on Monday...brainstorm, outline, edited rough draft, and final draft.
**Final drafts should be typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font (Times New Roman, Helvetica, Courier, or Arial...no bold), 1 inch margins, 2.5 pages, and with a cover page that contains your name and a creative title.
**If you are/were absent for Friday's class, you are still responsible for having at least ONE pair of eyes read/edit your paper, give comments/feedback and sign your rough draft as proof.
**Please feel free to email a Microsoft Word attachment to me for printing purposes and/or ask any questions you might have. Do so EARLY enough this weekend though so I have time to respond! Or you can always "share" a google doc with me too!
**Check the newly updated "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to prepare for next week. And if you have a fitting novel in mind, please bring it on Monday to class!
**Bring 10 blank note cards to class on Monday.
We'll see everyone on Monday! Be prepared!
