9/12

Good near evening all,
PW: You're doing a good job in class.  Still no books, but I'll collect the questions for chapter two of The Hunger Games and start reading three tomorrow.  More standardized testing prep.

Hi PA: We will finish Act 2 tomorrow.  Be sure to study your vocab tonight.  I am also missing assignments from quite a few people.  You need to turn them in by the end of the week or I will not give you credit.  And yes, Shakespeare was dirty sometimes.

12ers:  I will have the final edit of your resumes ready by tomorrow.  We're in the lab again.  Make sure you have a job picked out and know some specifics about it so you can write a cover letter.  I changed the due date of the letters to give the recommenders more time to complete them.  Dylan-- REMEMBER TO ASK THEM!

FW:  The first real day of literature circles tomorrow.  If you do a thorough job, the final test will be easier.  I will check completion tomorrow.  Don't let your classmates down!

SS:  If it is your day to speak tomorrow, be sure to have a completed, typed outline and remember your materials!  I am worried that many of you did not follow the instructions for this speech.  If you get a grade lower than a B, I will be emailing your parents about your performance and talking with them about makeup work.  Do your best!

Crew:  Study your vocab-- the quiz will be different than second hour's quiz... so be sure to review!  Moira and Cheyenne: today we read through the end of Act Two.  Also, decide if these words are synonyms, antonyms, or unrelated.  You may need to use a dictionary.  If you'd like, you can take the quiz on Wednesday-- we had some time to practice these in class.
