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.
