Magic Words: Extra Credit

Anyone interested in writing might consider earning some extra credit in November by completing the NanoWriMo. Every week I would add an extra homework grade. It's a lot of work, but a lot of credit.

Writers Workshop Reminder

Don't forget to revise your essays for this week's Writers Workshop.

Here's the Maus clip.

Anyone in need of extra PSAT prep, use this page. It´s free and provides explanations.

Po-Tweet

So you've finished the novel, or almost. This week finish Slaughterhouse-Five and write a blog entry that focuses on the end. Think about picking up themes discussed in earlier blog entries. Try to get to some sort of conclusion if you can.

Thursday or Friday you'll be getting reading for vacation. You can choose either Maus or Persepolis.

Also bring in your aphorisms for Writers Workshop.

Gunning

This week complete three more blog entries. I'd like you to write at least one based on an entry from someone else's blog. Also, be sure to be including vocabulary when necessary - 'kay?

Also, Wednesday or Thursday your revised essays are due. Be sure to have them printed and stapled.

The Billy Pilgrimage

I'd like you complete three reading blogs over the next week.

For Wednesday or Thursday's Writers Workshop, be sure to bring in your essays for one last revision.
