Catch UP Day/RPO

Dearest Poets,

Many of you owe a ton of work. It is my goal for each of you to pass the marking period, but you must do the work! Here is what must be accomplished TODAY. No exceptions:

1. Any late/missing work must be turned in!
2. You must have your TWO memory poems workshopped and polished.
3. You must be caught up with your Collins reading (and post!)

*********If you are looking for extra credit please write two poems for the RPO event this weekend. You can find the pieces being played here: http://www.rpo.org/s_1/s_43/p_1387/Mahler%2C_Grieg%2C_Nakamatsu/ **********

Please remember that your participation grade is in constant flux. If you waste the time given to you and/or do work for other classes, expect that your average will drop. Many of you are right on the edge between two letter grades. I cannot guarantee you will receive the higher grade if you do not work for it.

  • Please ask questions if you are unsure of something.
  • If you have enjoyed the memory exercises, I have some other ideas for additional poems- just ask!

If you are all caught up, I would like you to work on your Bennington and/or Young Arts entries. Please remember that Bennington is required! The deadline is 11/1, which is fast approaching. Do not let money be an issue for avoiding Young Arts. I will work with you to make it happen.


HOMEWORK

1. Finish Collins!
2. Be prepared to write an in class reflection about the reading and/or anything we have done this marking period.

You are all doing a fantastic job! Please keep up the good work.

Love,
Ms. Perez
