Bonus Opportunity (sort of... )

Periods 4A and 5:

I would like to see how many of you are actually still checking the site...so, here is a reward for you! If you submit a working thesis statement (for your senior research project) on Thursday April 30 (the day of our Restoration Exam), you may have three extra points (freebies) on your test...


Periods 1, 2, and 7:

I would also like to see if you folks are still checking the site...so, if you have seen this post, then I want you to find a good example of "civilization" OR "savagery" (in accordance with our main theme for LOF) in a magazine, newspaper, or WHEREVER SUITS YOU...look around...these elements are everywhere, but be creative. If you can bring tangible evidence to school (i.e. an appropriate picture or news clipping) then we can establish a collage to illustrate our theme. Again, please choose appropriately and intelligently!

You have until Friday May 2, 2008.

I teach Critical Thinking, English Composition, and Effective Speech at Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI), and I was born in Pittsburgh, but raised in Butler, PA; I was formerly a senior high school English teacher who taught British Literature to seniors for four and a half years at Butler Area Senior High School (BSHS, Butler, PA). I have been teaching college classes since 2008, when I graduated with my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership and English.
