Homework for 5/21 and 5/22

Students,

As we move toward the final two classes of the year it's important that you not miss due dates and that you complete everything to your best ability.  Remember that when the final day of classes comes, that's it.  No more late work and no more extensions.  Work hard and you'll be rewarded.  Here are your more specific reminders:

AP English III:

You all have two big things left to complete for the year.  First, on Wednesday and Thursday we will be having your final on The Things They Carried.  It will pull specifically from the stories which I assigned you and that we studied as a whole class.  Remember to have your annotations ready as I will be checking your books on this day as well.  On Friday/Tuesday (LDOC) we will be having our character cafe.  Please remember to bring your item for the party and to bring your personality (whoever that may be.)  I look forward to finishing the year with you all and celebrating your growth as students.

English I:

Today in class you all received your EOC review sheet as well as your EOC retest letter.  It's important that you fill out the retest letter and get that turned into me as soon as possible.  You probably won't need it, but it's best to be prepared.  On Wednesday/Thursday we will be completing another Matchbox and going over the review sheet.  That usually works best (the review) if you've generated questions about the terms, so spend some time doing that tonight.

Also, don't forget that your poetry projects are due on Friday/Tuesday.  This is the last day of class (LDOC) so you won't really be able to turn in these late.  You've had a lot of time to work on these, so my ability to accept your excuses will be non-existant.  We will likely also do another Matchbox on LDOC to finish preparing. 

Lastly, Honors students, if you did not finish your test essay during the class period I expect that you finish it tonight so that it can be submitted at the beginning of class on Wednesday/Thursday.

Study hard, work hard, relax in a few weeks.
