Homework due Monday the 17th/Tuesday the 18th

Assignment 1 of 5
Complete the rough draft for your gothic elements essay before coming to class. 

At the very least, you should be able to finish your rough draft in class Monday/Tuesday with enough time to get a classmate to peer edit it.


Assignment 2 of 5
If you did not finish the choice menu tasks for your chosen gothic element from Thursday/Friday's class, you should finish it before you begin your rough draft.  Make sure that you complete these tasks in the "assignments" section of your notebook and that you do enough tasks to equal 10 points.
 
Once finished, make sure that you get a stamp for each completed task to ensure that you really are deepening your understanding of the gothic element you chose.  If you don't complete your choice menu tasks by the time your essay is due at the end of next week, you will receive a 1 for your rough draft materials.
 
 
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


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
If you have any incomplete Achieve 3000 assignments, make sure you complete those and let me know when they are done either in person or via email.  I will not change any Achieve 3000 grades until they are all complete, and you must complete them no later than Friday the 21st.

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.
