--DURING TODAY'S DISCUSSION, YOU ARE AGAIN LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE CONTRIBUTIONS--PLAN ACCORDINGLY :)
HW Time
HW
--The due date for submitting a revised Ayn Rand Essay Contest paper for the Writing Portfolio is May 15th (just over two weeks 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.
--Follow the directions on the back of the Melodrama notes page in order to craft a well-developed paragraph. Remember that any assigned writing piece is an opportunity to hone your writing skills.
--While reading pages 93-123, 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).
--If you have not already done so, RE-READ your "Character Motivation" piece, looking specifically at your tiebacks--have you consistently and meaningfully explained so as to achieve your purpose as defined within your topic sentence(s)?
--As soon as Mr. Martin has approved your final project idea, you can get to work!
