AARGH! I made an error on the vocabulary powerpoint, but it has been corrected. Despondent is an adjective. For some silly reason, I typed in noun. Please fix on your notes!
So . . . I think I told some classes that your essay was do this Friday. My bad. It will be due next Friday. We will go over the rubric and guidelines Tuesday (Periods 6 and 7) and Wednesday (Periods 1, 2, and 3). You will have plenty of time to write plan, edit, revise, and publish an awesome essay!
