work for week of 5/11

Read at least 20 minutes a night at home. Your first memoir is due next block day, May 21st or 22nd.

See the assignment and rubric under helpful documents about the specifics of our work these next weeks. I went over the guidelines in class.

Keep a log of all your reading in your journal, including: book title and author, date of reading, time read, and pages read. I'll check these at the end of each week.

Journals #20-25 will be due next block day, May 21st or 22nd. Make sure you are caught up before then.

REMINDER: Progress reports are due next week. Make sure you have all outstanding work in by Monday, May 18th.
