Spring Break Information

Students and parents,

Spring break 2010 has arrived! Enjoy your time away from school, but while you are away, please do not forget to complete your spring break homework.

Periods 1 & 6-

You have been assigned to complete a packet related to "Mrs. Flowers" (period 1) and "Poetry" (period 6). You may use your Holt textbook to help you. Make sure you take time to find the correct answers.

Periods 3, 4 & 5- You need to work on Essay 2. The Final Draft is due when we return for Spring Break. Period 1, due to morning assemblies, etc., we are behind, and your rough draft is due when we return from break. The Essay is due Monday, April 12, 2010.

Here are some examples to help you as you finish your essay...

Tonight's Homework

I have completed tonight's homework as well. Students need to complete the second draft, and add transitions and examples in the body of the essay. I have added transitions in black, and I have added examples to paragraph 1.

Introduction & Conclusion-SAMPLE from PERIOD 1's Essay

Use the example introduction and the example conclusion as a model to help you as you write your own introduction and conclusion.

A little Late...

Sorry for posting this so late. I was taking care of work. When I arrived at my home, I ate dinner and decided to make cookies. But now I am doing our homework for class. Below I have posted the body paragraphs my period 1 class and I have been working on together.
