*******************************************************

All ELA classes will have to write a brief paper about a quotation given in class. This year quotes will be assigned every other week. So watch when your class has the assignment and the date that it's due.


Quotes will usually be posted on Wednesdays and briefly discussed in class. Papers are normally due on the following Wednesday. If you still do not understand the quote after the class discussion, you must come and see me outside of class BEFORE the day the paper is due. Be sure that your meaning is clearly understood.

Your assignment will be graded on the following:

· Copy the quote and author
· 1 - 2 paragraphs in length
· Explain what you think the quote means.
· Give examples from life.
· Restate the quote in your own words.
· Give your opinion--do you agree, or disagree with the quote? Why?


You can check this web site for homework assignments, and any announcements. Try and visit the site at least once a week. If you need to, you may email me at the link on this page. I usually check my mail a couple of times a day. I'll try and get back to you as quickly as possible. Also, if you think something is incorrect on the site, let me know. Sometimes I have had trouble with things actually posting on it.
