January 15 - 19

Assignments listed here represent the "Plan" for the week.  Plans of course are subject to change as needed, so this should not be considered the last word on what will take place in class or will be assigned for homework.  When plans do change however, the changes will be reflected here (hopefully by the evening of the day in which they are known to exist).

Poetry Analysis Mini-Project is due Friday.

Ott Class Help Pass

Students who need extra assistance or need to discuss their projects may contact me before 7:30 Tuesday - Friday in the morning before school. If I know students are coming in for help, I will look for them by the walker's entrance to the upper school.

Extra Help is available this week.

Students may use this pass to get help with assigned work
or to get help on their Poetry Analysis Mini-Project.

Students without passes may not be permitted
to enter the building before school.
