Task 2 due tomorrow

Your task 2 essays are due tomorrow with the multiple choice. Please remember that it is imperative to make the first draft your best draft as you will only get one chance on the regent without my input. Please, I implore you... do the work so I know where I need to work with you specifically over the next few weeks.

This assignment will your 3 week periodic assessment... comments to go up on teacherease.

I encourage all students to continue working dilligently through the rest of the school year. I know as the weather gets nicer, each of you will have the inherent want to pay less attention to school and more attention to the world around you...

I strongly recommend that in these times, you focus more clearly and directly at the task at hand and finish the school year strongly. We are officially in the home stretch.

Keep up your hard work.

Journal Project

So far your journals have have been fun to read and you have truly captured the language and the essence of Holden. Good job! Now let's step it up a bit. Start to use different genres in your journals while continuing to reference the text. Use your imagination by either writing a letter, drawing a map, or compiling a dialogue between Holden and one of the other characters in the book. I look forward to reading them!
