Upcoming Due Dates

Friday, January 22, 2010 is the last day to turn in your persuasive research letter for full credit. Feel free to turn that in anytime to get it off your "to do" list.

Friday, January 22 is also the last day to recite the Macbeth memorization in front of the class for extra credit. You may memorize one of the following speeches (points vary):

3-point speeches
Macbeth's dagger speech (2.1.33-41)
Macbeth's tomorrow speech (5. 5.19-28)

4-point speeches
Lady Macbeth (1.5.10-24)
Lady Macbeth (1.5.3549)

On Monday, January 25, you will have a final multiple choice and matching exam on Macbeth.

On your final exam day (January 27-29), you will take a comprehensive vocabulary exam. That means that you need to study all of the words for the year so far since you don't know which 50 will appear on the test. The vocab list for Macbeth will be tested as part of this final vocab exam.
On final exam day you will also write a group essay where you will receive an individual grade based on your group dynamics during the prewriting activities (idea generation and organization plan) and your final written product. Each person in the group will write a different section of the essay, and you will be graded on your own final product. One person is assigned to write the introduction (with attention-getter and thesis) and the conclusion with a modern, universal connection. The other three group members each write a body paragraph. The essay prompt will give you the opportunity to discuss a number of books read this semester.
