Schedule for Week of 27 May:
For Tuesday, complete your study guide for Chapter 6. You will have a quiz over this Chapter.
A Concern: Since "many" of the questions are "in your head" type questions-the answers are not found on the page-but rather are in YOUR head...I should NOT see IDENTICAL responses...this indicates to me that PLAGIARISM has been committed and that those students involved will receive a "Zero" for the assignment. NO EXCUSES! Do NOT inform me that you worked together with a "study" partner! You have been told about this previously.
Another Concern: This making period is "critical" for many of you-yet, I have observed a lack of effort from those that needed to demonstrate progress-sadly-this has not taken place!
Root Word Quiz: Friday, 31 May.

JUST A REMINDER: C Band: Ethan Frome Chapter 4 study guide due on Wednesday, 22 May. F Band: Chapter 4 study guide due on Thursday, 23 May. EXPECT A TEN QUESTION QUIZ (TEN MINUTES MAXIMUM)
Everyone should read Chapters 5 and 6 for Friday, 24 May (Expect a quiz)-you should also complete any assigned study guides-if I have decided to distribute them in class-all depends on whether or not I detect that students have not been reading the text.
Root Word Quiz # 7: Friday, 24 May.

Dear Parents: Many of the children have not completed their assigned readings in preparation for quizzes and/or for class discussions. Perhaps, your child is one of them. Furthermore, please do NOT accept any excuses-even if your child has been absent and your child does NOT have the required novel-the asssigned readings can still be completed since I have posted links for the e-text as well as for the audio of the text on this blog.
Attentions Students: In addition to the homework assignment that is due on Monday, 20 May (Chapter 3 study guide), you will have a quiz on this chapter. Also, for those unprepared for the quiz over Chapters 1 and 2 (10 questions), you will re-take this quiz (albeit a different one) during 37 1/2 minutes on Monday, 20 May. It is unfair to others to give you the opportunity to complete the quiz that you turned-in on Friday, 17 May.

JUST A REMINDER: You will have a QUIZ on the contents of the Naturalism power-point/video posted below on Tuesday, 14 May. You were informed about this last week. Do not be surprised if I ask you to turn-in the notes that you have taken to prepare for this quiz.
ATTENTION C-Band Students: If you arrive late on Monday, immediately report to the Dean's Office to obtain a pass to gain entry to class.
Root Word Quiz: Friday, 17 May.
We will visit the Book room on Monday, 13 May to obtain a copy of ETHAN FROME. I had encouraged everyone to begin reading this text last week-I even informed you about the audio I posted along with the text.

Ethan Frome audio/text
*Perhaps, NOW- those of you who have not read any of the texts this year-in their entirety-will NOW do so!
This novella will be distributed on Monday, 13 May-why not read ahead...?

BE ADVISED: Everyone has had ample opportunity to "upload" assignments to turnitin.com, yet several students simply do NOT respond to this directive/requirement. As previously indicated, I will not "recognize" a "hard-copy" of an assignment if it has not been uploaded. Furthermore, recently as you recall, I have indicated that you only have to upload an assignment, turning-in a "hard-copy" of the assignment is needless and futile since I will not look at it. In addition, my policy has always been that I do NOT accept late homework assignments-re-read class contract and posts on this blog. A Special Note to the Parents: I have always been available Monday-Friday-usually until 1800 hours to assist students in uploading their assignments-so PLEASE do not accept any excuse from your child-after all-your child is entering their Senior-Year of high school and must begin to take responsibility for their own learning.
A Reminder to Students: If you are absent and miss any class work, you only have TWO school days-not class days-to make up the assignment.
NOTE: I have now disabled turnitin.com preventing you from submitting past-due assignments-after all -the end of the marking period is Friday, 3 May and you have had "more than adequate" opportunity to complete assigned work. You were well aware of the deadline so do not approach me with any excuses since I ALWAYS give you DAYS to complete an assignment.
