ENGLISH 12: October 17-21

This is an A week, so we will meet three times. We have a good bit to cover in that time, so let's not waste any.
You will be getting your report cards. If you are disappointed in your grade, consider that you may have failed to turn in an assignment, which did have an effect on several people's grades. It is too late to turn in work from the first nine weeks, so do not ask.

I expect every student to register for Moodle, since I will require you to turn in assignments on Moodle from time to time. If you do not have a computer or internet access at home, please see me about scheduling time to stay after school and use a school computer or make time to visit the public library.  If you have difficulty logging on, please submit your name and birthday to me so that I can have your password reset. I will email the person in charge of setting up Moodle with student names on Friday, so if you have not told me of your difficulty by then, I will presume you are registered or that you have chosen not to follow instructions. Assignments that are to be submitted to Moodle will NOT be accepted in any other format. Please submit all assignments as .rtf files. I will demonstrate this changing file format in class.

Don't forget, if you are supposed to compete, that the POL competition is Tuesday after school in the library.


We have our test on "the epic" on Wednesday, and will begin our study of the Medieval period after the test. I don't think the test will take the whole block, so we will review for your next vocabulary quiz before taking it, and we will resume out daily allusions.

Those of you who did not yet present your epic boasts will do so on Monday.

Don't forget we will be writing College Entrance Essays, or the Personal Essay. The rough draft will be due on October 27. You will need to bring three copies to class for peer review. See the link for samples.Your final draft is due October 31. Please upload the final draft to Moodle for me to grade.

Be prepared to work on a group presentation for the Canterbury Tales. We will read the prologue in class and study the time period, but your group will be in charge of presenting one of several tales.  You can find the tales at the this website.

See you in class!

Mrs. SO
