ELA--The homework is on-going and students need to manage their time and schedules to allow for all the work and to meet the deadlines without cramming everything into one or two nights. The work is as follows:
1. The last IRP/Option #3 is due by Friday. Each student knows what they have left to do.

2. The background for the "Learning Journey for A Midsummer Night's Dream" should be half way completed so it is ready when we have finished reading the play.

3. All rough drafts of their reflections for each act and scene in the Shakespearean play should be up to date as once we have finished reading the play, the students will have one or two days to type up the good copies and hand in the poster.

4. Rough drafts of two chapters for their Memory Book Project should be completed and placed into their duo-tang. I will be editing with them starting tomorrow. We should be working on completing two chapters per week and there are 8 chapters altogether.
