The GOOD log

Here's an example of a log that is done well.  Please keep this in mind for future assignments...

Thanks, Sophie: )

Best.Log.Ever.

Journal Help??

I'm doing a check of your journals tomorrow during class while you finish the last of that tone paper for me.  Can someone be a doll and post the six or so entries(maybe less?) that we should have as of Thursday?  5/6 has one additional entry from Tuesday.  Journals should start on 11/6 I think.

Worried??

In case you're neurotic, or simply just worried at this point, I wanted to let you know that I have emailed everyone back who sent me an essay...all from my nifty new iPad : ). Joe Rock does get it right sometimes.....

I'm searching my files now for your tragedy notes--they should be posted on the side ASAP.

Your essay

Your essay is due on Friday by 11:59 PM.  You should email it me, as an attachment, to emailmrsrock@gmail.com.

I will put an essay in MLA format on the side of this page.  Please remember that your essay must be double-spaced, follow the MLA format, and have 1" margins.

Oedipus, Shmedipus

Here is the link to the Oedipus study guide:  Here

Remember, it's extra credit, so don't feel pressure to finish it.

Here is a full-text version of the play if you need it, : here.

Please study your tragedy notes and the basic plot of the play, including character names, to prepare for Tuesday's test.  It will be a series of short answer questions.

Our change of plans

Here's how this week and next week will break down:

Today: Peer edit
Friday:  Read some more Oedipus; HW: Study Vocab. and get journal together

Monday:  Cumulative Vocabulary Test.  KNOW at least 30 of the 50 words you have been given so far.  Journals will be graded in class.

Tuesday:  Oedipus--finish?  Study guides distributed.

Wednesday:  Finish Oedipus and work on Study Guide.

OFF FOR A LONG WEEKEND

However, you should be working on your final draft of your essay, which will be due on Friday, November 9th by 11:59PM.  Please email it to emailmrsrock@gmail.com  and I will send you a confirmation.  Each day you are late results in ten points from your final grade.

All of the above assignments, except the journal, will be part of your 2nd marking period grades.
