English 10- Grades are posted

English 10H- I will finish the project grading over break and post grades.  I will post here and on twitter when grades are final.  All extra credit has been applied and is closed for the semester.

English 10H: Use this rubric to revise your essay.

CHECK YOUR SKYWARD.  IF YOU HAVE A 0 OR BLANK FOR AN ASSIGNMENT LIKE WORDWRIGHT, VOCABULARY, ETC. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE IT UP.  I TRIED TO CATCH EVERYONE I COULD IN CLASS DURING THE LAST WEEK BUT SOME SLIPPED THROUGH DUE TO ATTENDANCE, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, ETC.

10H- The Trouble At Yale will not be on the test.  It was the last thing to add and I was happy with the test as it is so scratch it off your prep list.

10H Semester Exam Reading
Click on the link above for the poems that will be on the semester exam.  The Trouble at Yale will also be fair game, as well as "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" from the textbook.
FYI- Same Song, Ode to My Socks, and We Real Cool can all be found in the textbook.

10
All reading will come from the textbook except for the link below:
Poems- Ode to My Socks, Same Song, We Real Cool
Short Stories- A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings
This is the only piece that will not be from the textbook.
The theme of wonder and amazement will be prevalent throughout the exam.
