What's this!? Extra Lab time!?

Whoo hooo!!!!

For those of you crying about writing your papers during the Super Bowl (Bryce) ;) or just wanting to polish your paper and get more peer review, this post is for you.

On Monday, 3rd period will be in the study hall lab and 5th period will be in the English/Social Studies lab. The paper will be due on Tuesday. The calendar reflects this new schedule.

Happy Groundhog Day!!!!!

The Prognosticator of Prognosticators, Punxsutawney Phil, once again appeared at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob in the Pennsylvania Wilds to make his annual prediction.

Phil surveyed his surroundings and found no shadow, so an early spring it will be! You can watch it here.

Remember that your next grammar section is due February 18th and begins on p 252. You can that date and other important dates here.

Implications at work

Don't let this be the story of your essay!

Tonight for your homework, work on your papers!

Don't wait to get started. Take the trip through the text that we took today and start trying to form your thesis out of it. Outline, bubble graph, t-chart, mind map -- whatever -- just get going. Don't start writing on Thursday night or in the lab Friday; that's about peer review and getting help. Since neither I nor your classmates can steer parked cars, you need to have a draft of something to critique.

The turnaround on this paper is fairly quick. Don't dawdle.
