Thursday is a file review day--we will be going back over past assignments, considering feedback, identifying areas of strength and areas that need improvement or additional instruction.

You will be providing the teacher with feedback, there will be mini-lessons on transitions and conclusions, and you will have the opportunity to revise 1-2 pieces for a higher grade.

ALL revisions are due by May 15. 

Need help? Come see me after school on Wednesdays in the library for one-on-one feedback, or schedule another time.

The Great Expectations unit is coming to a rapid close! Be sure to ask for help or for a study guide if you plan on taking the end-of-unit test. You should finish the book this weekend or by Tuesday at the very latest, to be successful.

Remember you have two choices: take the more traditional test on next Thursday (matching/identifying characters, plot questions and timelines, theme short answer questions)
OR
create a theme one-pager (a visual argument that includes multiple quotes, phrases and pictures to portray a key theme the author is addressing)--also due by the end of class on Thursday.
