AOW #4
HONORs–You need to print and do the AOW for Monday per usual because of Project work and presentations this week. You may want to bring it to class on Friday though in case presentations end early. Remember to staple a rubric to it.
Plan on handing in the novels on Friday. Please put your name on a sticky note and place it on the book. I’ll double check numbers when I return.
I look forward to seeing your completed projects:)
2nd hr.–Because Book Talks are almost finished, you will be reading and analyzing the article in class on Thursday with Mr. Fay. You may print this copy, but he will also have copies in class. Since you have class time, it will be submitted at the end of class. Make sure you staple a rubric to it. This will allow more time for the AOWs to be sent to me for grading and return.
I miss all of you! Keep getting your work in on time so you keep your grades up:)

We have one more story to cover on Monday/Tuesday in our textbook, so students need to bring books to class. I will have a review sheet posted by Tuesday for the exam. The review is worth some extra credit points and students will turn in completed reviews on Friday before the test.
Have a great week-end!
