I am writing this in the largest format available in this blogging format.
I have given you ample time, resources and instruction. Now is the deadline. Friday is the deadest line you will ever receive. All must accrue 320 out of the possible 400 points to receive a passing (basic) grade. I have had conferences with each student informing them of their status. 

Now we have returned to the regular classroom format. All labs from this point on will be devoted to Literature Research projects. You are on your own to complete whatever needs to be done to reach a "basic rating" on your Senior Project. I will of course be available to reiterate what we have been saying through out the past two months. I will not however create your powerpoint or write your papers etc. 

On Friday you will be responsible to complete an assessment on this week's vocal words on Act 4 and 5 of Hamlet.

You were given a research assignment on Keats and Lord Byron that was to be completed in class today. I have extended the deadline for completion  to 10 pm at which time I will grade and comment on your findings. You have received a class handout with the directions. Make sure you follow them to the letter.
