Have it typed
It MUST be here by the period you have me.
If you are absent, it must be emailed to me and then printed and brought to me the day you return.

Absences and parent signatures will not excuse you!

Parents and Guardians,

Hello! I just wanted to make sure everyone was caught up on reading. This is the schedule for the week:

Thanks for hanging in there these last few weeks!
-R. Schiff

Monday you should have come to class having read chapters 27-35.
Tonight’s reading is chapters 36-44.
Tomorrow, in class, you will be able to work on your essays silently. You will NOT read in class, nor will you work in groups. Your essay is an individual effort.

Week at a glance. Reading The Color Purple:
Mon: letters 36-44
Tues: letters 45-54
Wed: letters 55-61
Thurs: letters 62-64
Fri: letters 65-73

Hello parents/guardians-

I have assigned a research paper that is on The Color Purple. This assignment is worth 200 points. I am concerned that your students may decide not to do the assignment so late in the year. This can tragically demolish their grades. Please make note that the assignment is posted online as well as a printed copy for your students.

Also note, students must have a bibliography so they understand the multitude of issues that will occur in college without proper citation. I implore you to encourage your students to hand in this paper on time. I will not accept late work!

Thanks so much-
