Please Note: If you have submitted a "hard-copy" of the literary analysis assignment for TEWWG, BUT have NOT uploaded the assignment to turnitin.com, you must do so NO LATER THAN Monday, 4 March. I will only grade the assignment if it has been UPLOADED. I have changed the setting for turnitin.com permitting you to upload past due assignments. I find it quite remarkable that students have NOT visited me during our tutorial period of 37.5 minutes to remedy this situation. Please be advised that I will check to determine if a "hard-copy" of the assignment has indeed been turned-in-so do not think that all you will have to do to receive credit is to upload the assignment that you NEVER turned-in to me.
Root Word Quiz #3 (derm to grad/gress) on Friday, 8 March
You must return TEWWG on Monday, 4 March in order to receive a copy of CITR.
NOTE: Since the instructions for your Literary Analysis of TEWWG was based on total points (25) for each requirement, I will post the total points you earned out of the 25. This could change later-but we will discuss it first-the "change" will be to your advantage.

Parents Please Note: Your child has had approximately three weeks to visit me during 37.5 minutes (tutoring) if he/she has had difficulty accomplishing this requirement.

Schedule for Week of 25
February:
C and F Bands: Root Word Quiz #2 ("ced to dent") on Friday, 1 March.
Monday, 25 February: C and F Bands-Group Activity for Chapters 16-20 will continue.
If you were absent on Friday, 22 February-you will NOT be permitted to join a group. You will complete this activity during class and during 37.5 minutes. Everyone must bring his/her copy of TEWWG to work on this assignment. For those absent, several students actually decided to work independently rather than join a group.
NOTE: Sadly, based upon my observations, too many students have NOT been reading this text. Even though you will be permitted to use Hurston's novel during the essay examination, those who have not been keeping up with the required readings may experience difficulty.
Text evaluation: TBA (One day this week-could be Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday...one of those days-I suggest that you review the resources provided on-line and read THE CHAPTERS THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ.

Schedule for Week of 18 February
Root Word Quiz #1: C and F Bands-Friday, 22 February (See post below for link-make-up flash-cards, Roots 1-15-this is NOT a "matching test"-you will have to "memorize" the meaning of the meaningful word part and write that meaning next to the root word in the space provided-MAXIMUM TIME-5 MINUTES)
NOTE: With the exception of several students, I was impressed by the collaborative effort observed in responding to the questions for Chapters 11-15 of TEWWG. Recall my "warning" that those who do not contribute to their groups' efforts will not receive the same grade as other group members? For the next group activity for Chapters 16-20, you will have the option of selecting your own group members- although-I suspect that most of the groups will remain the same. Furthermore, those groups have the option of refusing the request of a class member to join their group.
Wednesday, 20 February: C Band-Turn in "hard-copy" of literary analysis questions for Chapters 16-20. Be prepared for a quiz on these Chapters-answer any FIVE questions out of TEN but this time a list of possible answers will NOT be provided.
Thursday, 21 February: F Band-same as C-Band above
Friday, 22 February: Both Bands-after quiz-will be formed to work on questions for Chapters 16-20 of the novel. If you neglect to bring TEWWG you will NOT be permitted to participate in the group activity.
