some end of year stuff

Hi all!

You've been out of here now for at least a day but I'm nowhere near finished. Still, I'm striving to get everything completed and your grades in.

All portfolios are done. Stop by today and get them if yours is still here.

I need all missing work today!!!!!!!

Grades will be posted as soon as I have completed everything. I'm trying to do that as quickly as possible.

Due to the end-of-year crush, there was one stack of essays in each class (the Catcher essay for sophomores and the Monologue essay for juniors) that was never finished and returned. Some had been completed, but not others. As this was your final analytical essay, it occurs to me that some of you might wish to know my specific remarks on it. However, at this moment I am grading holistically in order to get things finished (and because I do not know if any of you will ever even see these essays again). Should you desire real feedback, just let me know and I will endeavor to provide it within the first couple of weeks of break. (I may require an emailed version of the essay to do so.)

All juniors who desire recommendations: please follow the guidelines on the right (in the links). Email me first to make sure I am OK with writing it and to alert me that you desire one, and then get me whatever you think I need. If we have already spoken, please drop me an email: I can easily forget in the end of year chaos.

Drama class: I'm working still on finalizing your grades, but I'm extremely pleased with the work you put into the final production. Where the written stuff held you back, such is life, but you all did a great job. :-)

And to all of you who will still be here: stop by my room next year and say hi! Otherwise I may have to hunt you down in your next English class and do something really embarrassing. ;-)

If I need to make any further announcements, I'll have them up before Monday afternoon. Otherwise...

Have a great summer!!!!
