Hey Everyone,

I will be gone from class on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday so it is my intention in this blog to let you know what our classes will be accomplishisng on those days. Your attendance is imperative as is your good behaviour. Thanks in advance. Maybe cookies at the next coffee day?

ELA 20
Today we are reading "Pencil Crayons" and will begin studying the character of Josh's father. Over the next two days you will be responsible to:
1. Write the draft copy of the essay for "Pencil Crayons".
2. Research some allusions (Internet) in preparation for The Glass Menagerie.
3. Begin reading the play, The Glass Menagerie and answering questions. The questions require a short answer in sentence form.

ELA B30
Pace yourself over the next three days and you will be just fine. Please do the assignments in the following order:
1. Finish drafting the essay for "Shooting an Elephant"
2. Write the nomination speech (should be done in class on Wednesday)
3. If essay and speech drafting are done before Friday, read "The Nose" (Modern World Literature) and complete the World Reading Log.
4. On Friday, type the final copy of the essay and the speech. Both must have a cover page, be double spaced, and the speech must have proper intext documentation.
5. If you are finished both of your final copies, complete the "Counterparts" assignment and then return to "The Nose".
I will be expecting to correct the essay and the speech on the weekend.

Work hard in the next three days and make sure the following assignments are completed by Friday at 3:30:

1. Draft copy and the final copy (typed in Thursday's class). Hand in both draft and final copy. Make sure the final copy is double spaced and has a title. (no cover page)

2. Read chapters 5-8 of Warriors Don't Cry and complete a chapter summary for each of those chapters. The quiz is on Monday. If you happen to complete these chapters, continue reading to the end!

The assignments I have given to each class are not difficult but require you to settle in and keep focused throughout the class. Do your best.
