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.

Reader Response/Reaction for A Respectable Woman due Friday, 26 April- uploaded to turnitin by 0800 hours (1 1/2-2 pages-begin with a quote and then insert at least 3-4 other quotes for guide your reaction-recall that this assignment requires you to talk about the text-it is NOT a summary and/or a retelling.

Reader Response/Reaction for Trifles by Susan Glaspell. Complete a 1 1/2 to 2 page word-processes reaction to this play.

This is a mandatory assignment-you are "enrolling" yourself...

The Catcher in the Rye audio book

Just A Reminder:

Both Bands MUST complete the reading of The Catcher in the Rye prior to returning to school. You will receive a QUIZ over Chapters 19-26 when you return to school after the break. Please be advised that you will NOT receive a "list" of suggested responses-I have discovered that this has only provided assistance- for those who have not done the reading. Dear Parents: Imagine that there are several students who have not read this text-perhaps, your child is one of them who does not complete the readings and who does not participate in the small group activities in response to these readings.

Also, since we will only meet for two class sessions during the week of 1 April, you will not be administered a Root Word Quiz.
