Tomorrow's Parcial

Sorry I could not make it to class yesterday. I just wanted to clarify a few points about tomorrow's parcial. It'll include:

• Fahrenheit 451: the whole book even though we could not finish our analysis in class.
• Textbook: the first four (4) units. You need to study Unit 4 on your own. Your workbook has plenty of exercises.
• Creative writing piece: you need to bring a revised piece of writing from your blog. It should be a hard copy, typed with a complete header and double-spaced. It counts as a practico.
  

The blog entries and your reading log are due in August. If so far you have not started a blog, you should do so over break. I will not accept handwritten journals in August.

Best luck and inspiration for tomorrow's parcial, and have a great winter break!!!

News for your relief!

In recognition of your good work since the beginning of the year, I've decided to postpone the deadline for the blog completion and presentation of article reviews until the first week of class when we're back in August. This way you can focus on preparing for the first parcial. HOWEVER, your best piece from your blog MUST be turned in on Thursday - in hard copy, double-spaced, etc.

Hope this encourages you to keep working as hard and as well as you have throughout this very intense first term.
