Announcements and Reminders:
1. If your "Effects of TV" essay is not up to a 3.2 score, get it there or higher as soon as possible. Make sure you have followed the essay outline given to you, and have followed all other directions. 2. If you are ready to go on to the December Book of the Month, remember that you are reading the genre you did not read in November -- either fantasy or science fiction. Bring it to class each time. The assessment for the month will be preparing an entry for the Letters on Literature contest. Your letter does not need to be about the book you are reading in class. It should be about a book that is especially meaningful to you. See the tab above for Required Reading to find more information on your December assignment. It will be due by January 7.
