We will be finishing Romeo and Juliet by the end of this week. Therefore, you will need to complete your character log entry by Monday, March 9. Keep in mind this log entry is to be a formal writing. I have noticed the log entries from Nectar in a Sieve and The Namesake seemed rushed, lack focus and organization, and do not have quotes from the work to support your points. This is a must. We are now in the second half of the year and you should know the requirements for a log entry. Keep in mind that to document a quote from a play is different from a novel. Look at your instruction sheet for the log entry in order to properly document from Romeo and Juliet. I have also noticed in my gradebook that many of you are not doing your assignments or are handing them in late. Both of these things will obviously lower your grade significantly. I will provide you with an updated grade on Friday. This will be the grade you will be getting on your progress reports. As far as a final assessment for Romeo and Juliet goes, we will be doing an alternative end assessment. Although this is a creative activity, it will include a great deal of work. I have high expectations for the end results. More will follow on this end assessment at the end of this week or the beginning of the next week. Have a great week. I will be out of class on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. If you need me on those days, you may find me in my office at the end of the day. Sunday, March 1, 2009
