SENIORS: Today we finished the slam poem presentations.  I want to thank you all for helping me get through this year.  My hope for you all is that your lives are everything you want them to be and more.  Peace, love, and ukulele,  Ms. G

SOPHOMORES: If you are in my 2nd period, we started the presentations for the career research paper.  These will continue on finals day, Monday, June 11.  If you are in my 3rd period, you have today to finish your work; presentations for your career research paper will be on finals day, Tuesday, June 12.

SENIORS: We are still presenting the slam poems.  If you haven't presented yet, make sure you have a hard copy of your poem with 3 literary devices identified; you will turn this in to me after you present.

SOPHOMORES: Continue to work on your research paper.  If you are in my 2nd period class, presentations begin tomorrow and continue through finals day (June 11); if you are in my 3rd period class, presentations will be due on finals day (June 12).

SOPHOMORES:  Continue working on your research assignment.  If you are in my 2nd period class, the due date is Thursday, June 7.  If you are in my 3rd period class, the due date is Tuesday, June 12.

SENIORS: Today was practice, saying your slam poem out loud and getting feedback from your peers.  If you haven't said your poem out loud, do so tonight!  Don't let your class presentation be the first time you say your poem out loud; it will sound different out loud than it does silently in your head.  Trust me on this one; practice out loud! Presentations begin tomorrow!

SOPHOMORES: Most of you should be done with the final draft of your research paper.  Now move on to creating your Works Cited page, the parenthetical documentation, and the visuals.  Presentations start Thursday, June 7.  Don't forget that tomorrow we will spend a few minutes in the library returning textbooks, so bring them to class.

SENIORS: Today is the last class period you have to create the final draft of your slam poem.  Monday, you'll get into small groups and practice your presentation, getting feedback from your peers.  Tuesday, we begin the presentations!

SOPHOMORES: The rough draft of your research paper is due today; by rough draft, I mean the 5 paragraphs you are writing about your possible career choice.  If you are finished with that, create your Works Cited page; if you are finished with that, put your parenthetical documentation in your paper; if you are done with that, work on your visuals.  Everything has to be ready to present on Thursday, June 7.
