HOMEWORK:

ENGLISH:


1.  Lit Circle #3 takes place next Wednesday: the task is to trick out your locker.  Remember: it's a metaphorical locker, so the items you include should not appear in a literal sense in the novel.  E.g., if the character is always playing with a rubber ball, I don't want to see that in the locker.  More like, if the character is always thinking about his mom who is away on a business trip, maybe there is a photo of her in the locker. 


2.  Passion Project: complete the survey tonight on g. classroom about what form of presentation you will have for May the 4th.  We are working on passion projects tomorrow for 60 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
