English 4 & 4H: 4/12/13 Friday

Note
  • Today will be the last time I see students for approximately two weeks. Today I gave them all the work I expect completed by the time they return.
  • The deadline for all the assigned work is 4/29/13 for 1237 days and 4/30/13 for 4567 days.
    • Students who have not completed the editing handout by then will receive a zero
    • Students who have not completed the professional writing project by that time will loose two letter grades by the next day (that is a 24 hour day, not to the next class which is 48 hours)
