Week of February 18th

Tuesday the 19th Dr. Rey will come to class and explain course selection options to the class. If there is time left over we will get back our quizzes from Friday and vocabulary corrections will be due on Wednesday - if not will pass back papers Wednesday with corrections due Thursday.

Wednesday and Friday the last sets of reading questions for Milkweed are due - located on an earlier blog post. Our Milkweed test is Wednesday 2/26/08.

On Friday the 15th I passed out the Paper topic. Rough Drafts are due NO LATER THAN FRIDAY 2/29/08. The final draft is due 3/7/08.

I'll have progress reports for everyone on Friday 2/22/08!

Change of Plans

Instead of having a paper rough draft due Friday 2-22-08 I will delay it a week. We have Milkweed and outside reading right now...we can focus on the rough draft once done with Milkweed.


The paper topic information will be placed here this week and discussed in class. THE ROUGH DRAFT will be due 2-29-08. The final draft will be due March 17th - St. Patrick's Day.


Please make the changes to your syllabus!
