Because of illness I was out Monday- Wednesday. The American Literature classes watched A Raisin in the Sun and completed the movie guide that accompanied it for a major grade.
On Thursday, we finished up the movie and students were allowed to work on the five paragraph essay required as a part of the guide. If you missed class, you need to make this up!
On Friday, we did a Daily Sentence (please get this from another students), Exit Exam Review on Pages 113-118 in the practice workbook, began the Voc 12, and discussed the new dates for our research paper, because I missed all the work planned this week.
Our new dates will be...
Monday, March 16th- three printed articles in class
Tuesday-Friday March 17th-20th- Write your rough draft and proofreading
Monday, March 23rd-Friday, March 27th- Finalize Submission 1 and type Submission 2.
April 1st- Turn in entire paper for final grade!
April 2nd- Paper will be accepted for 20% off
April 3rd- Paper will be accepted for 30% off
After April 3rd, the paper will not be accepted.
