Please continue to email me your missing work... with the exception of your current events, I would love to get everyone's outstanding assignments as soon as possible.
If you haven't already conferenced with me about work that is due from this or last trimester, please make a conference.
Monday, you will be setting goals for the week and we will be making sure all of the work that is due is coming in...
Reminder - Friday you have another Current Events assignment due... some of you owe me at least 3 assignments... if you are doing one to two a day, you will knock out that requirement. Remember, analysis of author's craft is the most important piece... evaluate the effectiveness of the lead, headline and direct and indirect quotes... are the paragraphs short and interesting... does the writer follow the inverted pyramid structure? How do you know? What language is being used that conveys importance? Is the writing objective and informative? What parts of the article work best in this capacity? Highlight and then write about specific phrases.
Next week - April 4th your poetry assignments are due... please make sure to conference with me about the poem you have selected and what you plan on analyzing about it. We will be spending time on this in class this week, so please have the work handy.
