Ain't We Got Fun?

A month into the school year, and we're already at Milepost #1:  progress reports.  While your first major essay grade will be included in that calculation, don't forget you can revise your essay for reconsideration until the end of the actual grading period.  To resubmit, please change the document title to Period#, last name, "Someplace"2.  Then, within the document, highlight your heading and make a comment box in which you tell me 3 things:  What you changed from the original; why you made the change; what you think of the new version.  Meanwhile, we'll be finishing our novels this week, and having final discussions and assessments.  Ain't we got fun!?
