Everyone Else :) 9/9

English 12ers: ASK YOUR REFERENCES!  Monday we will finish resumes and start working on cover letters.  Find a job you might actually be interested in applying for.

FW: Books have still not arrived, but we will start literature circles on Monday.  TCIoTDiNT: I will either find copies or make photocopies of your first planned reading assignment.  Sorry this isn't working out how I planned.

SS:  Practice speaking this weekend!  Your speech needs to be three to five minutes long.

5+ minutes= No penalty (within reason)
3-5 minutes= No penalty
2-3 minutes= Dropped one letter grade
1-2 minutes= Dropped two letter grades
1 minute or less= Let's talk... you'll probably have to redo your speech.

Be sure to look at the rubric that I gave you.  It shows all of my grading criteria. 
Quinton, Ray, David, Mikey, Chanse, Carver and a few others: You talk too much.  Your grade is beginning to reflect it. 

The English Crew: No homework!  I had a lot of fun reading with you guys today.  :)  I think maybe on Monday we should get Petruchio (Scott) and Katharine (Cheyenne) to battle it out in front of the room... just a suggestion.

Have a great weekend everyone!
