Week of 4/16-4/20/07

All high school classes: check your turnitin.com account for your graded first draft. They're going online as I get the papers in and as I get them graded. All papers turned in as of Monday will be graded by Friday at the latest.

2nd drafts are due (full-length, with citations and lists of Works Cited) on Friday, 4/27/07. Those who got their papers in on time and are going to Disney Grad Nite have until 5/2/07 because turnitin was down over the weekend and so I was unable to get my comment to you Monday.

1st-3rd periods: keep working on your book activity. I want to try to present all of those by Friday.

5th period: Finish researching your country and write a paragraph in which you imagine a day in the life of a citizen of your country in class on Tuesday. We'll start reading on Wednesday with the background information in your book, then move into the flood story from the Tanakh. Be prepared to compare it to the flood story we read in Gilgamesh.
