--The due date for submitting a revised Ayn Rand Essay Contest paper for the Writing Portfolio is May 15th (tomorrow)--do you want/need to revise? YOU MUST schedule a meeting with Mr. Martin to go over your revisions; simply handing in the revisions is unacceptable as per the protocol.
--Prepare for the "Missing or misplaced possessive apostrophe" assessment, which will take place next class.
--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.
--While reading pages 323-366, 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!
