English 3 Honors grades

I input the Return to the Wild writing on AERIES. Since it is the only assignment in the essay category, it has an outsize influence on your overall grade. I will be adding your Gatsby essays next week so there may be some movement.
 
There are grades and comments on your Return to the Wild assignments on turnitin.com.

Submitting Assignments

Please submit assignments to turnitin.com. I grade there and leave comments on writing assignments. Do not email me assignments unless I ask you to.
If you have any problems submitting please email me and specifically describe the problem. Don't just say "It doesn't work." I will do my best to help fix any problems. Please keep it simple--submit in word or pdf. I want everyone to receive full credit.
Thank you,
Mr. M.

JUNIORS Please Read!

1. The Just Mercy essay will be due on May 15. On your works cited page please indicate if the version you used was a physical book or a pdf, etc. If anyone has trouble finding a copy please let me know.
2. Anyone who registered a fake name on turnitin.com--Abe Lincoln, etc.--try to log in and change to your name. Some of you won't get credit otherwise. I am grading on the site and names need to match. The site allows me to leave comments on your writing. If you have trouble doing this let me know ASAP. 
3. My daughter and I had a blast reading your Wallace style poems. I am sure WCW would approve. Thanks to all for having fun with it. 
4. WYG homework--Make sure you are doing reflections also.

Where You Go ch3-5 due Friday 3/27

Since we are not meeting to discuss the book, please answer these questions AND write your 1/4 page reflection for each chapter as previously assigned. Compile your answers and reflections as one document and submit it to turnitin.com by Friday March 27 at 11:59 pm.

Hold Your Head Up

Though the days ahead may seem difficult, we will get through this.
I am inspired by my grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War 2. Their generation is chronicled in Tom Brokaw's book The Greatest Generation. My great-grandparents survived the Spanish Flu pandemic and World War 1. I remember all of them as resilient and compassionate people.
Do your best to keep up with your classwork. Don't worry if it is a day or two late. Please email me with any questions or concerns or just to say "Hi". I look forward to seeing you all again.

Assignments

I will be posting assignments here.
We will not be doing all the assignments on the March calendar, and those we do may be modified a bit because we are not meeting as a class. 
Please take care of yourselves!
