*4 paragraphs MUST BE DONE TOMORROW. Introduction and 3 Body. If the paragraphs are not finished, you will be ZAPed and will report to the ZAP room on Friday (and any subsequent day needed to complete the work) at lunch.

**YOU NEED A SILENT READING BOOK TOMORROW (just like every day)

***A note about in class work and homework.  Over the past few days and weeks I can honestly say I have been very disheartened by the lack of effort and care put into the work done by many of my students. Most (and that is not an exaggeration) are not completing homework on time. Homework is to be done at home and completed for the next day. I do not just pile on work and assign homework. Students have homework when work is not finished in class. To that end, so many students are wasting time in class, worrying more about others and what they are doing than focusing on themselves and the work they have to accomplish. This needs to end. Good, quality work needs to be produced. Students (you) need to listen the first time directions are given so that not so much time is wasted repeating myself. Overall, most of us need to do better. We owe it to ourselves to have high standards of quality work and to strive to be our best. We also need to give everyone a chance to work in a supportive, productive and positive environment.
