Brit Lit:

Today:

We did a peer review on your short story.  You were asked to swap twice and use the feedback sheet given to offer constructive criticism.  Please see me if you were absent.

You will have a small amount of time on Monday to make any last minute changes to your story and highlight the three literary devices that you used within your story.

We watched the Favorite Poem Movie project that you guys made.  I will be making dvd copies for anyone that wishes to have a copy.  I will also post it on the blog after I edit out those that have asked not to be included.

I passed out your final exam review sheet.  We will be working on these on Monday as well.

End in greatness.

WOS:

Today, we had work day #4 on your Tempest projects.  Friday will be the last day to prepare your presentation.  Remember, even if you worked solo, you need to present your project in some way to the class.

Please also look over the Final exam review sheet.  I will be able to answer any questions on these on Friday.

We will present your projects on Monday and Tuesday: May 20 and 21st.

As always, try and end with greatness.
