June 6 - June 9 - LAST POST!

I can't believe  we've come to the final week of class.

It was sometimes exciting, sometimes a "learning experience," but always a privilege to facilitate these sections of English 3 during my first year at PV High School.  I've learned so much during our time together and I hope you feel that your reading, writing, speaking and listening skills are even better than they were a year ago.  I've gotten to know many of you fairly well and hope that you visit me next year and keep me posted about what's going on in your life.

Here's what we're doing this last week:

MONDAY: (all classes minimum day) Review of college essay/cover letter that will count as your final, pass out Final Checklist for college essays.  (You can include this in your English notebook and reference it if you like during the rest of the college application process, if that's your plan.) End of year reflection - students will fill out a brief questionnaire about English 3 this year.  Begin watching the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Due: Please upload your college essay/cover letter to Turnitin.com by Monday night, June 6 at 10:00 p.m.  Since this counts as your final and grades are due, no late work will be accepted.  Thanks for understanding. 


TUESDAY/THURSDAY:  Finish watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  Feel free to bring food to enjoy.  We will celebrate our last class together.


Have a wonderful summer break, seniors!
