Howdy, cowpokes!

Exciting news - no vocabulary this week! WHAT? Can you believe it? You'll have to wait until next week to find out what "joypopping" is . . . What with field trips and assemblies and advisories this week, it didn't seem sensible to try to squeeze in vocabulary, too. You can feel free to thank me with flowers or cookies or candy or . . . be creative.

H and F period will get next week's vocabulary words on Friday; I'm going to be out next Tuesday, but I still want you to have the quiz on Thursday next week.

Upcoming due dates:

B period - 3-5pp of draft due on Thursday, 10/11
D period - 4-6pp of draft due on Monday, 10/15
F/H periods - drafting due on Wednesday, 10/10 (F - 3-5pp, H - 4-6pp)

3-week projects are due October 22 or 23

Dialogue journals are due in H and D periods on 10/18 or 10/19; they are due in F and B on 10/25 or 10/26

A writing assignment of any kind with a minimum of two drafts is due some time between 10/12 and 10/19

GET TO WORK!WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST READING THE BLOG! You probably have some writing to do . . .
