Ms. Bullis

TP-CASTT packet is due 2/4 for a quiz grade. The packet can be downloaded from the class website under the assignments page.
Poetry test is 2/5.
Graphic Novel Project is due 2/8! (Originally assigned 1/8.) Monday, 2/1 is the last day I will give feedback for any thesis statements, outlines, or rough drafts for the essay portion of the project.
Students need a copy of Romeo and Juliet by 2/11. There is a copy in the literature textbook, but any copy is fine as long as the original text is there and not just a translated or modernized version. If there is any confusion, email me the publisher or the ISBN # and I will confirm if the copy is acceptable for class.
Please have students check to see if they have any school copies of Great Expectations or The Odyssey. Copies were checked out from me but never returned, so I am missing about 20 copies total.
Refer to class website for additional information www.freewebs.com/hbullis

We will review essay writing for the first of the week. Students need to bring their thesis statements and/or any rough drafts they have for their graphic novel essay in order to receive feedback and make any adjustments before it is due Monday 2/8.
