I hope everyone had a great long weekend and you are ready to work hard. I am having to repeat myself many times in class. It is imperative that you focus when I am talking so you improve your listening skills. I hope we don't have to go back to single desks.

ELA 20
We are drafting the "At the Wedding" RAFTS. We will be typing them on Day 4 so please make sure you have a completed draft by then. Tomorrow we are reading "Penny in the Dust". We will read this one together.

ELA B30
The essay writing process is not complicated but has a series of simple steps that when followed will make your work load half of what it was before. You must brainstorm and outline before you write the essay. Tomorrow we are reading "Shooting an Elephant" in class together. Then we are outlining and writing an essay on the story.

ELA A30
Drafting the essay for Danny Thorson and his escape from Black Island. Draft is now due and must be ready to type on Day 3 which is Friday. Your Canadian paragraph and graphic is also due on that day - you will have the class to type them both.

ELA B10
You worked hard once you settled down. Be quick to get to work or homework will be in your agenda. Tomorrow is Day 1 and we will be typing the final draft of the homeless essay and the final draft of the memoir. You will not get to the lab if you do not have both drafts completed. See you tomorrow.
