Daily Log

Tuesday, May 11

Mr. P announced that Outside Reading papers will be due Wednesday, June 2, and that in response to complaints about too few points having been assigned to that paper first semester the assignment will be worth 75 points (in addition to the function of determining eligibility for A's, B's, etc.).

Mr. P also announced that students need to submit their Whitman/Dickinson essays to turnitin.com by the end of this week (codes to be given tomorrow). Also, students who are afraid they may have used other people's words impoperly in their papers -- i.e., without putting them in quotes and citing the sources -- will be allowed to take back their papers and resubmit them after checking them. Anyone interested needs to talk with the teacher individually outside of class.

Students received stamps on their Gatsby motif booklets while they listened to a recording of the remainder of Chapter 1. Afterwards, we brieflly discussed the chapter and added some images to the booklet.
