Monday, May 23, 2010

And the slacking continues with the updating-of-the-blog thing! Goodness.

Today begins SENIOR FINALS. Today's schedule will be "normal" for everyone; students in periods 5,6, and 7 will take their final. If you are one of my APees, and you took the AP Exam on May 6 in good faith, you have one final written task to do today to earn the "A" on your final exam grade. Only two people messed this up last year, so don't be one of them this year!

Periods One and Two (Gifted English II): Author of the Day; Word of the Day; Holiday of the Day; Moral Homework--find your favorite opening line of a book; discussing the Letter to Self assignment; poetry and analysis (starting with "Courage" by Sexton from last week and culminating with a more complicated piece from the anthology.)

Period Three: Distribute the letters you wrote to yourselves in tenth grade, if you were in my class; yearbook signings galore; pass back a whale's belly-full of graded work to trash or treasure. Just don't throw it away/recycle it in front of me.

Period Four: Writing Center; need some help if you're available. We're back in 315 this week.

Periods Five, Six, Seven: Final assessment for AP Lit and Comp; you need one or two pieces of paper and a pen. No worries. If you finish early feel free to pick up any graded work in the respective pile o'love.

I have a SAC meeting tonight back up at school, so I might stay straight through to finish grades. If you need a letter for a scholarship or comm service, see me ASAP. Love to all.
