THURSDAY

Introductory paragraphs for TKAM essay: These paragraphs need to be proofread, edited, polished, read out loud, checked for the dreaded passive voice, checked for errant "I"s and "you"s. This will take considerable time -- at least an hour. I strongly suggest that you get feedback from a parent or trusted editor before you turn this in. I will return the paragraphs to you without grading if I notice any grammatical errors. The better these paragraphs are now, the easier you'll find writing the essay. These need to be typed, of course, and delivered to me either Wednesday night by email or first thing Thursday morning. Do not wait to do this in study hall. I mean, come on, do people -- in general -- ever use these study halls? Please...

FRIDAY

TKAM Documentaries Due (for Lucy/Juliet, Luke/Max, Felicia/Megan/Danielle): I have given you over a month (maybe even two months?) to do these projects. Therefore, I am expecting great things. For those whose documentaries are due Friday, I need to see what you have tomorrow (Wednesday) 7th period. I also want all technical issued worked out by the time you present your projects on Friday.

NEXT WEEK - WEDNESDAY

2nd Draft Stories: Do not leave these 2nd draft stories to the last minute. I will expect these drafts to be feature significant revisions. I will be able to tell if you rushed through this stage in the process and/or done things at the last minute. You have also had nearly a month to work on these.
