Research Papers...

If you didn't work on your research paper this week during Spring Break, I'm here to remind you that your paper is due this Friday, March 30th. This is the complete project: title page, pledge page, completed/updated outline with thesis statement, paper, and bibliography. Don't forget!! If you do forget this is two zeros for my classes and then one for Mrs. Allison's English class. Also, I will give extra credit if you turn it in a few days earlier. However, that being said, it must be an "A" paper or I will hand it back to you to fix it before Friday. I'm looking forward to reading your papers!!

Class Assignments...

Be sure to print out your assignments for this coming week and have them with you in class. That way you will be prepared as to what the homework will be. Also, I am working on lesson plans for up to the end of the school year. Some classes already have the rest of the year's assignments posted. Keep checking back this week for when your class has all assignments posted.

Wishing You...

Enjoy!!
