You will have a substitute teacher today because I will be attending training meetings at the district office with other English and history teachers.
P.T.S.A. Reflections entries are due by Wednesday, October 19. Extra credit is available in English class for entering the literature division.
Book orders are due by the 14th. I could send an order before that if I receive enough requests.

Self-Starter: Students will read and complete a page about creating effective concluding sentences on paragraphs. If you are absent, you could pick one up from the files at the back of the room when you come back, or you could download this file:

In The Outsiders, Johnny says, “It ain’t long enough. Sixteen years ain’t long enough. I wouldn’t mind it so much if there wasn’t so much stuff I ain’t done yet and so many things I ain’t seen. It’s not fair.”Discuss and/or describe two or three things you would really like to do or see before you die. Remember to write at least a half page or 12 sentences.
A2 -- Think of ideas, and if you can remember, bring stuff next time to create our door decoration for Red Ribbon Week! There is a competition among the A2 Classes.
