Resource Site for Senior Project and Poetry Assignment

http://facstaff.unca.edu/bhobby/handouts.html

Here is a pretty good site.

Scroll down for examples of MLA citations (that go in your paper) and a sample MLA works cited page (the final page where an alphabetical list of sources appears).

I just remembered that this site has some great links to poetry information and PowerPoint creation tips.

Update: Assignment/Parent-Teacher Conference

Wednesday

Because school is closed today, the parent-teacher conference scheduled for this afternoon will be rescheduled.

Due to our not having had class today, I am moving all assignments up one day. In addition, I am cancelling the Hamlet essay assignment for English 12 7th period.

All other assignments remain the same but are due or will take place one day later than originally planned.
