Assignment 3 of 5
Your notebook check for Unit 2 is coming up next Monday/Tuesday. Make sure you come to class those days with the following assignments already complete:

PowerPoint notes for every story
CEL paragraphs for every story
Graphic organizers for every story

I will not penalize you for not getting stamps on the CEL paragraphs. Make sure, however, that all of your graphic organizers have stamps for full credit. Otherwise, be prepared to show me all 15 of the assignments above.


Assignment 4 of 5
It is already the second week of October, so you should be reading regularly every night in your IRP book. Ideally, you want to finish the book at least one week before your IRP poster is due. That means odd periods should finish by 10/27 and even periods should finish by 10/28. Determine how many pages you have left to finish and divide that by the number of days left (about 17-18).

Ex. Let’s say your a student in period 5. If your book is 225 pages long and you did your homework over the long weekend, you should have about 200 pages left to finish at most. If you divide 200 by 17 days, you get 11.76 … So, you should be reading at least 12 pages every night starting tonight if you want to finish on or before Thursday the 27th. 

Those of you interested in attending Gertz’s first off-campus dance and/or Halloween parties that weekend should try to finish even earlier. 


Assignment 5 of 5
Week 10 grades are due this Friday. If you have any incomplete Achieve 3000 assignments, make sure you complete those and let me know before the end of Thursday.

If you wish for the possibility of a grade change for your personal narrative grades before week 10, please resubmit a hardcopy of your revised essay before the end of the day Wednesday.

If you wish to retake your word roots quiz before grades are due, you must be present for tutoring this Thursday.
