Modern Literature - Sept. 26, 2008

Yay for Fridays! Today we spent the majority of the period going over the assessment for our Catcher in the Rye unit. There are two parts, both worth 50 points, for a total of 100 points. Please remember, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THESE ASSESSMENTS AFTER MONDAY, OCTOBER 6. NO EXCEPTIONS. For a copy of the assessment sheet, which includes the details and thorough instructions, click the link below. **Please note, if you were absent, please come and see me so I can explain some extra things that were not included on the assignment sheet. You will have one in-class work day to work on these assessments. Everyone must do Part One, and for Part Two, choose one option from the list for your Creative Choice project - it is up to you. Whichever option you choose, please read ALL of the instructions and requirements for that choice. If you have questions or concerns, if you are confused about anything, OR if you would like to do something different from the options listed (which is fine with prior approval), please come see me. I will also be posting helpful links, pictures, and other relevant information that might help you with your assessments. Look for them here, in this post. Have a great weekend and don't get arrested! =) Please finish the novel this weekend and be ready to discuss it on Monday.
