Writing
--Continue thinking about your short story.  The final draft of the assignment is tentatively due on Tuesday, 11/7 (ACE)/Wednesday, 11/8 (BDF), which will be here before you know it!  Do you want me to give you access to me and my classroom after school next week and/or conduct after-school workshops?
--The due date for submitting a revised Thematic Writing Assignment—Partner Interviews essay for the Cumulative Writing Portfolio is Thursday, 11/16 [ACE]/Friday, 11/17 [BDF] (approximately one month from today)—YOU MUST schedule a meeting with me to go over your revisions; simply handing in the revisions is unacceptable as per the protocol.  When time permits, meetings can/will occur during class time.
Miscellaneous
