Finals Begin!

More Scholarships!
Salute to Education

Government Final
Today is your government final.  Please make sure you have all of your notes out and ready.  We will be using the same rubric as our previous Socratic Seminar.

The Catcher in the Rye Essay
Your rough drafts for you Catcher in the Rye essay have been returned to you.  Please review and make necessary corrections.  I have seen some recurring issues in some of your papers:
Lack of a clear thesis (should be at the end of your intro)
Needs at least 3 quotes from the novel
Must introduce and explain quotes
Do not describe each scene! Explain why they matter

See me regarding any questions.  Please take a look at the rubric before you submit.

Also take a look at these 2 websites if you are having trouble with your thesis:
Tips on Writing a Thesis
The Writing Center

MET Super Bowl!
Who all is ready to play in the MET Super Bowl!?!  Remember we need 3 ladies to play on the field at all times.

Do you guys want to have a 'practice' where we throw the ball around and discuss rules sometime next week?  I'm willing to stay after school for about an hour to go over things.  Since we have half days it will be nice and sunny out and you wont have to stay to late.
