HW
--The due date for submitting a revised Ayn Rand Essay Contest paper for the Writing Portfolio is May 15th (next Wednesday, one week from today)--do you want/need to revise? Don't forget to schedule a meeting with Mr. Martin to go over your revisions.
--Make sure that you are reviewing your notes (e.g., Key Facts, Alexandre Dumas notes, Melodrama notes, etc.), as Mr. Martin may "check in" on your knowledge and ask you to apply said knowledge at any time.
--The Unit #11 vocabulary quiz will take place at the beginning of next class. Continue preparing. Don't forget about the "Whimsical Words"!
--While reading pages 241-274, work on character posters (if any of your characters "show up" in this section of the reading) and complete Post-its (focus especially on flagging seemingly important passages).
--As soon as Mr. Martin has approved your final project idea, you can get to work!
