Look, I hated Sunday nights, too. This is what I grew up fearing/loathing/dreading:
When that sound came on the TV, I knew my weekend was over. I also knew that I'd have to do all the dishes by myself because my parents would be sitting in front of the TV watching what looked to be the world's most boring program.
I'm not here to rain on your Sunday night of leisure and fun...I just want to remind you of a few things so that you get all of your points tomorrow.
You have two things due on Monday:
1. The Words of Wisdom assignment. If you don't have yours with you, it's on the right-hand side of this page under "handouts"--or just click on this link right here (clllllllllick!). Please make sure you follow the MLA formatting guidelines the best you can--I won't be crazy when I grade you on them, but you do need to try. It cannot be handwritten! I put a copy of the MLA guidelines (and how to set your computer up to do them) on the front of our Edline page, or you can get them in the handouts folder over on the right. ALL RIGHT, FINE, I'll link to them here, too. Click!
2. You will need your 1.5" binder and everything that goes in it when you walk through the door. If you are missing just one element (a pencil...the index cards...the dividers...), you will lose all five points. This is spelled out for you on the back of your procedure sheet (which I just linked to, but is also on Edline, and is also in the handouts folder). Please assemble it BEFORE class begins. We will write on the dividers in class--just have them in place and ready to go!
I will be asking you to purchase the novel Caleb's Crossing in the bookstore this week. I'm not sure how much it will cost, as it just arrived on Friday afternoon, but I'll let you know and post it on my blog here.
Have a great Sunday night. I am so relieved you have been such wonderful classes...teachers worry about who they'll get too! I have been triply blessed with my three classes of sophomores. Thank you for being you!
