Tomorrow's Parcial

Sorry I couldn't make it to class yesterday. Just in case, I wanted to clarify a few points about your parcial tomorrow:

• The Lord of the Flies: the whole book, even though we couldn't finish the analysis in class.
• Textbook: the first four units. You need to study unit 4 on your own. You have practice + key in your workbook.
• Blog pieces: you need to turn in your two best pieces of creative writing from your blog. They should be typed, double-spaced and with appropriate header.

The blog assignment and your reading log are due in August. If you want to save money, you can start writing your reading reports on your blog - make sure you number your reports and you attach the link to your article. Also, you should separate both sections by using the following LABELS: "Journal" for your regular entries, and "Reading Log" for your reports. You type the appropriate label after you have typed your "new post" and before hitting the orange button "Publish Post". Hope this helps.

News for your relief!

In recognition of your good work since the beginning of the year, I've decided to postpone the deadline for the blog completion and presentation of article reviews until the first week of class when we're back in August. This way you can focus on preparing for the first parcial. HOWEVER, the two best pieces from your blog MUST be turned in on Thursday - in hard copy, double-spaced, etc.

Hope this encourages you to keep working as hard and as well as you have throughout this very intense first term.
