Good afternoon, everyone.

EE class -- you have a due date of 10/17 to have ten good sources, a mentor, and a specific research question.

IB English 11 -- We are about halfway through the Wind Up Bird Chronicle. We should be finished with it by October 15th, when we'll have our final quiz. That same week, we will do our 5-minute practice IOPs. Please be planning that well in advance.

10th grade English -- We are beginning the Tupac unit. Please have a binder that you can devote to this class by Friday.

11th grade English -- We are finishing the "Bring a Text" unit today. After that, we will start a new unit, but I want to keep it a secret until we've begun.

A few other notes for everyone -- Picture day is Wednesday for periods 2, 4 and 5, and Thursday for period 6. Miss. Noma will be visiting all the classes over the next few weeks to talk about college entrance requirements. And finally, grades are BACK on the web. You can go directly there by clicking this link: http://www.geocities.com/karasynhorst@sbcglobal.net/classes

Or you can go to www.geocities.com/karasynhorst@sbcglobal.net and use the link on the left.

Enter your student ID number and your grades should come up. 5th period is above 4th period for some reason, so make sure you use the correct box to enter your ID number.

Take care, all.
