Intersession Assignments

We will have THREE intersession assignments due the following dates:
January 10th (uploaded to turnitin.com)
January 20th (uploaded to turnitin.com)
The first day of SECOND SEMESTER.

If I learn of other BONUS OPPORTUNITIES ...I'll post them here!
Warwick's Books in La Jolla has 4 authors coming to speak in January. I have not read their work so I cannot speak from personal experience about their writing. If you and your parents deem the author and books appropriate, please print this blog post and have your parents employee of Warwick's sign it. Take a picture with the author and bring in notes you took on the author's talk the first day of second semester...before school.

Remember...reading EXTRA is always a BONUS...get an Outside Reading book approved by me and you are all set!

Intersession Assignments can be found on the Intersession Page of the class website.
