CULMINATING PROJECT, a state high school graduation requirement:  OCT. 15

12th grade: Senior English classes assign a Resume and and answer to Question #1 in September. Note: Resumes completed in Bridges in 10th grade cannot be used for your senior resume.

The resume and question 1 are turned into the Career Center by October 15th of senior year. Senior Resume Guidelines and Expectations

Senior Packet for the Culminating Project

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

Both the resume and response to Question 1 must be typed, of course.  Be sure to save them both in a way that can be accessed at school.

TODAY IN CLASS

1)  Essays collected.  For papers not yet in, be sure to use the cover sheet you got today or get one from the bookshelf by the door if you were absent.

2) Students got copies of the epic poem Beowulf from the bookroom.  Check out in the library on your own if you were absent.

3) We looked at the first 11 lines in Old English, and read/discussed the first 17 or so in the Burton Raffel translation that you have.

FOR TOMORROW

Such a short assignment--but please read with care, at least twice.  Ask yourself questions about what you think is important.
