And this is it...almost

We've only got one more day of class ahead of us, there's the final exam ahead of you except for those Juniors who happen to be exempt.  Below are your final reminders to get you ready for LDOC (last day of class).

AP English III:


None of you are coming to class for LDOC - instead I expect to see Huck, Jim, Rinehart and all of the other characters that we've met this year.  Please come in costume and in character.  We'll follow the procedure given to all of you today in class on the handout called "The Lavender Room."  As an entry ticket, you must have completed your "Character Bone Structure Sheet" so that I can see that you've thoroughly prepared your character.  Remember to answer all questions on the sheet.

Also, don't forget to bring your food item for the class to share.  Don't be late to class on Friday/Tuesday - we're going to need all 90 minutes to do this well.  I'll be announcing which of you are exempt from the exam on Friday/Monday during class.

English I:


On Friday/Tuesday we've got two big things ahead of us, a second matchbox and the presentation of our poetry projects.  We'll begin class with the poetry projects.  Each of you will come to the front of class, turn in your work to me and present your poem.  Then you'll get mad snaps.  Remember to follow the instructions on the assignment sheet thoroughly and have all four required elements.  Each part will contribute to the overall 100 point test grade.  Each particular item is worth twenty-five points.  Failure to turn in an element will earn you a zero, automatically for that element and bring down your overall score.

Also, remember that no late work will be accepted past the last day of class.  My grades are locked after that day and I have no intention of changing them - if you've missed an opportunity to make up work, it's too late now.  Spend your time completing what you have left and doing it well.

See you on Friday/Tuesday.  B-day students, hopefully you'll see me a bit more relaxed after a long weekend at the beach.
