Week 14

Hello All!

Important Announcement!  As stated in class today, the deadline for the Narrative Essay and the Narrative Essay Extra Credit has been moved back!

If you turn in the Narrative Essay today (Friday, April 13th), then you will receive 5 points extra credit on it (for completing your obligations by the original deadline).  However, the final deadline that I will accept your Narrative Essays for full credit is next Tuesday, April 17th.  If you turn your essay in today, you can turn it in under the original assignment to earn your extra credit.  If you turn it in starting tomorrow, turn it in under Revision 1.  The Narrative Essay Extra Credit is just due Tuesday.

Remember the requirements for these essays!  You must turn them in to BOTH Essay Scorer AND Turn It In .com.  You must have at least a 5/6 to pass!  At this point you've had 3 weeks to work on them, now you have an extra 4 days!

((Important:  Essay Scorer will be under maintenance on Saturday morning from 8-2 (I don't know which timezone).  You will not have access to Essay Scorer while it's under maintenance.  Please plan accordingly.))

Next week we'll be beginning our unit on Their Eyes Were Watching God (hereafter referred to as TEWWG).  You must bring in a 3 prong folder for the unit project which will be handed out on Monday.  You may bring in your own copy of the book. 
The word of the week is Everglades.  Write me a note with your name and the word of the week and you'll receive a ticket.  If you tell me where in Florida the Everglades are located, I'll give you an extra ticket.
