Hello to all! Please be mindful of the due dates for the rough drafts for the senior project research papers, et al. And yes, you are required to turn in a rough draft of your senior project. The due date for the rough draft has been changed to Wednesday, June 4th. I need some time to look over the papers. The final draft is due Monday, June 9th. The papers must be typed and in the correct format. Tuesday, June 10th will be spent rehearsing your presentations. If you need a laptap, a projector or anything else for your presentation, please let me know now. The presentations will be from June 11th - 13th. Senior Fails are due Friday, June 13th. The due date is long past for essays and reading logs. Most of you are missing your reading logs for WAITING FOR GODOT and THE METAMORPHOSIS. These are major grades, easy to do - we read most of them in class and discussed them pretty thoroughly - and if you don't turn them in, their absences will definitely pull your grade down.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE FOR AP ENGLISH MAY 19th - MAY 23rd: Your outstanding work - in both meanings of the word - are due today. That includes essays, reading logs, grammar, and vocabulary work. Since this week is CALIFORNIA STANDARD TESTING week, fourth period will not be meeting every day. Which means that you should be bringing your laptops to school - but be careful and don't lose them! - and working on your senior project rather than watching SHREK in the auditorium ;-) Remember the final draft is due on Monday, June 9th and the presentations will begin on Tuesday, June 10th and will conclude on Thursday, June 12th. Senior Fails must be turned in by Friday, June 13th. This week we will meet: Monday, May 19th Thursday, May 22nd Friday, May 23rd

TUESDAY, MAY 13TH: Please use this time to work on all those essays you owe. Begin work on your research paper for the Senior Project. First, find a topic you are really interested in and get approval from me. WEDNESDAY, MAY 14TH: We will go over expectations and guidelines for the research paper. The papers should be about seven to ten pages long with at least three sources: books, journals, and on line sites are acceptable. You must include some sort of visual media (power point, posters, realia, etc.). The Senior Project will also involve a formal presentation of your paper in front of a panel of adults, which means you must dress up in nice business attire and orally present the information you have gleaned f...
