See the resume section of the College Resource Handbook for more help with resumes.


TODAY IN CLASS
First 20 minutes--quick review (partly teacher-led, part student time)
Then the Anglo-Saxon background quiz.

Re: the Culminating Project--Although English teachers are required to "assign" this, it is NOT an English grade.  I am supposed to check your work before you turn it in, but it is really a quick check to see that it's presentable. I don't get into the details, really, but even at a glance,  I have a really sharp eye for typos.  I will mark them so that you'll have to fix them and reprint.  So you'll be better off if you proofread carefully first.

FOR TOMORROW
We'll be talking about "The Wanderer" tomorrow, and working with the last lyric poem as well.
But on your plate right now:  revision of the personal essay, and getting going on the Culminating Project.
