There are still several of you who have not given me your poet’s name.  You have until midnight tonight to do so, or else you will lose points on your project.  Do not wait until the last minute because I will need to approve it via email or blog, and I go to bed at a reasonable time.

Many of you can not afford to lose points on this…there are only 10 days left in the semester…be vigilant about due dates…

SRI testing in the media center May 29th.

Last day for book talks June 4th.

Literary letters and exit tickets due by June 10th.

Zeinab Elhagehassan in third hour!  She is ready for her close up…

Many of you fell prey to old bad habits…meaning you did not answer the question I asked, but rather the question you assumed I asked…go back and re read the challenge.  No where does it say that I am looking for a quote by DeMille…but one based on him…a subtle difference, but one that is worth 11 bonus points…Zeinab got an extra bonus on top of her bonus for being a super smarty pants.

I applaud everyone who gave it a shot…stay tuned, this won’t be our last cultural terms gauntlet…but for now, Zeinab deserves kudos from you all.

See you in the morning!

The first person from each class who correctly EMAILS me (in the proper format) the famous quote based on cultural term #5 AND where is comes from (not where you found it, but where it comes from) will earn 10 bonus points.

GO!
