all of trimester 3 due dates for blog

 

Trimester 3/2017

                                                   Due Dates and Heads-Up Re: 3rd Trimester

Students, you will not have nearly as many grades this third trimester as the number of grades you have had in in previous trimesters; therefore, every assessment, in fact, will carry a heavier grade weight.  Be sure that you put 100% effort into every effort.  Do HW on time; if it is to be printed and ready for class, do so…  DO NOT ASK TO HAND IN LATE HW; DO NOT ASK TO PRINT IT.

Mon. 3-13  All classes; hand out Fahrenheit 451 and related materials (hereafter to be referred to as 451.)  The novel is divided into three obvious parts; 1st part is due 3-20; 2nd part is due 3-27; 3rd part is due 4-3.  Each time, you know to expect a quiz and to show up with printed copy of 3 questions, 3 quotes.  These quotes must be documented according to MLA documentation – that is by law, not by Ms. Fields’s request.   I will hand out some grammar exercise, due tomorrow for 1st and 3rd, due Thursday for 6th and 7th.
