Notes

Posted: February 11, 2014

English 10 - We have been working really hard on the researching aspect of our essays.  The last two days were spent in the computer lab finding reliable resources for our research essays.  Tomorrow, you will have class time to highlight your information.  This is similar to the close readings that you have become used to.  On Thursday, I will do a homework check.  All information must be highlighted at that time.

1. Your test will be on Thursday, even if there is a snowstorm tomorrow.  I will attach the review sheet for those who did not get a copy. 2. Don't forget that your interview project is due on Friday.
