Hey Everyone!

Hope you are having a great third week of school.

A few things:

1.  Tablets will be handed out this Thursday and Friday (if we can get the program working).  Please bring your forms and your cash back.  $5 for Free Lunch recipients, $10 for Reduced Lunch recipients, and $20 if you aren't on a lunch plan.  You can still sign up for a lunch plan online and receive the lower price! Click here for the application.

2. If you had homework regarding The Wife's Story, you can find a copy of the story here  (that means you, Period 7).  The question you had to answer was:

How does the author use structure to force the reader to make assumptions that are revealed to be false in the plot twist?

• Explain how the author leads the reader into making assumptions about the characters.
• Show how the author reveals the true nature of the characters.

3. If you missed any days of "What, of This Goldfish, Wold You Wish", I will be offering make up sessions on Thursday and Friday this week.  YOU MUST MAKE UP GOLDFISH WORK BY FRIDAY.  Unless you have an excused absence that is a very special circumstance, grades for Goldfish Assignments will be done by the end of the week.

Keep up the great work!
