Week of 10/26-10/30

HIGH SCHOOL:

Basic Writing:

• I will be collecting your writing binders on Monday 10/26. Remember your binders should have every writing assignment you have done this quarter in them in chronological order.The assignments were: Goals Essay, How To Essay, TV Prompt, 2000 Word Essay, Lamb to Slaughter and The Biography. This binder will count as a test grade.
  
• The only assignment that will not be there is the biography which is due on Friday October 30th. Remember this biography should be 5 pages, 12 pt Ariel font, single spaced. I gave you two class periods to interview your subject so all further interviews must be done on your own time. I expect the biographies to be truly biographical and factual.

• All make up grammar work is due on Monday 10/26 as well. I will be collecting grammar books on that day and any incomplete work will be given a zero. You should have completed up to page 23 in your grammar book excluding pages 10 and 11.
  

Algebra/Pre-Algebra: You will have homework every night Monday through Friday. If you find yourself without homework and we have not specifically talked about it something is wrong and you should call me at home. 978-352-8237. Also call me if you have difficulty completing homework. The best time to call is between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m.
