So we have finally made it to the end of a long countdown. Yes! As you might have been able to tell from my "the school year is almost over" speech, the next countdown will be to Halloween, so it will begin at 20 on Tuesday...not as long as this one was.
This weekend has the following weather report:
Sat: 80 and sunny. Sun: 75 and sunny. Mon: 72 and sunny. Do you see what these have in common? No? I will give you a small hint...
Do not spend all of your time cooped up in your rooms huddled over a computer or video game. Get outside and enjoy what might be the last great weekend of the year!!!!
In the actual reality there is this, but (as I said) it is not much:
CW: If that outside time spurs you to write something, then write something.
E3H: If you did not complete your essay on figurative language (see last night's blog post for details) in class today, get it finished and submitted to tii by Monday. Start looking for a poem for your fantasia project as well. (If you feel like beginning the project, clear the poem selection with me and then go ahead, but that is not necessary. This project will not be due for about two weeks.)
E2CP: If you have not cleared your thesis and five quotation with me, you must do so via email this weekend, the earlier the better. Then you should start drafting the final Our Town essay, a 1.5-2 page essay based on your thesis, using your quotes (and others too if you wish) as support. Be careful to start with a strong thesis paragraph. In fact, that's the first thing I want to see. When you finish writing it, send it to me by email so I can give you feedback. It will really help your final grade! The actual essay is not due until next Friday, and I will invite you to bring it in to discuss it in conference. The thesis paragraph, however, is due on Monday. (The thesis + five quotations were due today.)
(Some folks can be a bit slow...)
And for your daily dose of Absolutely Adorable:
