Last homework assignment for 2007

  • Write a 3 paragraph review of Maus. Your audience is freshmen who have not read the graphic novel yet. (In other words, do not give me a plot summary!)
  • Send me a 2 paragraph email before January 7th. No text message language. Topic? Anything you want to share with me.

A note for those of you who did not show up for (or complete) the presentations you scheduled today: You will receive a zero on this project. There will be no discussion about this. As it says in your syllabus: Major projects, however, are due on their due dates, whether students are present at school or not. That means the project must be emailed, faxed, sent with a friend or sent by telegram on the day it is due.

In the case of a presentation, there is no time for you to even make up the project if you are absent. You chose your own project time slot.
