American Literature: LA-3/LA-3S

This does not have the music attached (as your project will), but it did when it was shown. This is the bar of expectation, as I showed you in class.

Okay guys, I have figured out (finally) how to show you calenders without having all the html formatting explode on the site. Go to the “Calender” page and then click on your desired month.

Next week we start working on the poetry final project and I will announce when your poetry final exam is. ALL POETRY PACKETS ARE DUE THE DAY OF YOUR POETRY FINAL!

In addition, you are to bring a poem or song to class this Friday 3/27 as posted on my white-board in class.

Grades are due next tuesday. For extra credit, make sure you get the sheets signed by your parents for your CST scores.
