Honors English 12 (February 14, 2008)

In Class:

I collected your take home quiz that was due on Wednesday, but due to the two-day snow hiatus, the quiz was collected yesterday (Thursday). If you failed to submit the QUIZ (yes, it was a quiz), then you may submit the quiz today (Friday) for half credit.

Those of you who felt like the extra day was just not substantial, in terms of time, to finish the 10-point quiz...well, you will need to revisit your collegiate pursuits.

We spent Thursday in the Computer Lab (Room 111), researching and creating PowerPoint presentations for your chosen British Author.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to next Tuesday's (February 19) Spring PSSA Reading Assessment Follow-up (SPRA-FU), we will be convening in the Computer Lab again on Monday (February 18), instead of Tuesday.

Also, your final exam on Frankenstein will be held on Friday February 22, 2008. You will need to finish the book sometime before the exam... it helps.
