Ellis Island Reminder: Please continue to plan your costume for your immigrant profile. Students will be given their specific profiles and background this week.
Autobiographies, Outsiders essays, and biography reports are past due. If you have not finished yours, visit C-4 during lunch, resource or after school, to edit and neatly type your final copy. Final pieces must have a centered, specific title that refers to something about you, a centered byline, and it must be typeset in double-spaced, 12 point text. Biography reports have additional formatting requirements - check your guideline sheet or check with Ms. Barnes. We are continuing to hold biography presentations - prepare and practice yours if you have not yet presented.
