Literary Analysis Paper- Introduction & Thesis

Hey students and parents, I really wanted to be in the classroom today, but I couldn't talk more than a whisper.  The plan for the day was for everyone to write the first paragraph of the Literary Analysis paper.  This is rough draft, so please be sure to double-space as you go.  If you wrote a paragraph in class today, and you were kind to the substitute, you get an A for the day!  If you were absent, or if you didn't get your paragraph done, please have it ready to go tomorrow when you come in.  Tomorrow we'll be writing the second paragraph together.

Also, the substitute passed out the assignment sheet for the paper today.  The due dates are 12.15.14 for the Rough Draft, and the final copy will be due 12.18.14. That means if you stay on track each day, we will still get everything done before the winter break.

Please know that I'd rather be with you guys!  It looks like I'm going to miss Wednesday as well, because I still can't speak more than a whisper.  I will be correcting papers and entering them into the grade book, even when I'm absent, so be sure to stay tuned to Synergy.  If you have any late work to turn in, it can go into the basket on the front table.  Hope it all goes well tomorrow!

Hola alumnos y padres, yo queria estar en el clase hoy, pero no puede hablar mas que un susurro.  El plan por el dia estaba que todos escribir tu primer parrafo del proyecto "Literary Analysis." Eso es un borrador, y que ustedes recuerden poner espacio doble.  Si escribieron un parrafo hoy, ya recibiste un A por el dia!  Si estaba aucente, o no te completaba un parrafo, escribalo para usar mañana en el clase.  Vamos a escribir la segunda parrafo ajuno mañana.

Tambien, el sustituto distribido el papel con los detalles del proyecto hoy.  La fecha por borrador es 12.15.14, y por la copia final 12.18.14.  Esto significa hay tiempo para completarlo antes del vacacion invierno si estas enfocado cada dia.

Tu sabes, mi preferencia es para assistir la escuela con ustedes!  Voy a perdir el miercoles tambien, porque no todavia no puedo hablar mas que un susurro.  Voy a revisar papeles y entrar marcas en la computadora, incluso cuando estoy aucente.  Entonces, ponerse attencion a Synergy por tus marcas, y si tienes tarea para mi, ponelo en el cajon en la mesa al frente de la aula.  Buena suerte mañana!

A Retrieved Reformation

For those of you wondering why the papers for A Retrieved Reformation are not graded yet, it's because for this assignment I'm required to grade these with other teachers from our school.  The 7th grade teachers have a meeting on Wednesday, and after that it shouldn't take long.  FYI.

Para aquellos que se preguntan por qué los papeles de A Retrieved Reformation no se revisado todavia, es porque estoy obligado para revisar el papel con otros maestros de nuestra escuela.  Tenemos una reunion en el miercoles, y despues no debe tomar mucho tiempo.  Para tu información
