Happy Friday Seniors!

I cannot believe how fast the Bennington deadline is approaching. Have you chosen your poems? Please remember, it is a poetry, fiction, and non-fiction contest. YOU MAY SUBMIT ONE ENTRY PER CATEGORY! The poetry category is required. Choose your strongest work.

Period 1

• Did you complete your homework? I will check it at the beginning of class. Please make sure the assignment goes into your portfolio. All required poems need to be organized and labeled for the next portfolio check.
• Finish workshopping your Bennington entry (this is a group of three poems!)
• Enter the contest! If for some reason you cannot submit today, it must be done by Tuesday. See me if you need an extension.
• Show Ms. Perez proof of your entry (this is a required contest!)
