Wednesday

On Wednesday, we will finish giving notes to the four monologists we didn't get to today (Jordan, Joseph, Max and Zucchini).

For those of you who are late turning in the written version of your monologue -- you know who you are -- it is essential that you have a draft completed and emailed to me before the beginning of Wednesday's class.

As an accomodation, points will not be taken off for late work that arrives Wednesday, but after than, the grade for this assignment will go down :

• -%10 if it is turned in later Wednesday 9/24 before the beginning of class.
  
• -%20 if later than Tuesday 10/2 before class
  
• -%30 if later than Thursday 10/4 before class
  

The penalty will never be more than -%30, but you will still have to complete it. But what fun will that be knowing the highest grade possible is a %70? You're much better off getting it done before Wednesday's class!

Turn in Written Monologue

The first written draft of your monologue is due Monday, September 24.

Please post it as a comment to this blog entry. You should probably type it into a word processing program first and make sure it is saved, then when you make your comment post, just copy and paste the text in.

Be sure to put your first name in the post somewhere. If the process of doing this post is difficult, as a computer-savvy fellow student during to give you a hand!

Field Trip on Sunday, September 30 at 3:00

We will see Julius Caesar at the Knightsbridge Theater in Los Feliz at the Sunday matinee on 9/30.

Cost is $15 per student -- please drop the money off with Lori as soon as you can.

Parents can attend as well (at the same price) or do drop off and pick up at the theater. We will arrange carpools a few days before the trip for those who want to meet at Bridges first and then go to the theater.

Personal Narrative Project

A worksheet was handed out today describing a project that will begin this Friday and continue for about two weeks. If you need another copy you can download it here.
