SAT Vocabulary Quiz: List 7 (seven words list 7 and three words list 6)  will be given on Tuesday, 13 November.

A REMINDER: THE 24-HOUR RULE-Once you are given the opportunity to review a graded-written response-carefully examining my responses-asking classmates to read their written responses (those classmates receiving a "higher" grade)-then going home and re-reading the assigned text, you may then approach me to arrange a writing conference. This was made clear from the beginning of the semester! In addition, several of you do not quite understand the "effectiveness" of this directive.  Regrettably, many of you have not visited the AP English Language and Composition Home Page to review the "Sample Student Essays".

SEVERAL STUDENTS ARE STILL INSISTING THAT ENDING A BODY PARAGRAPH WITH A SPECIFIC QUOTE FROM THE TEXT IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Do not attempt to "argue" with me that this is permissible! It is not acceptable-recall your English 9 Writing Unit?
