Mr. Bennett's English Class...

The upcoming deadlines for the paper that you all need to know (that we discussed in class) are as follows:

Proposal - 1/17
First Draft - 1/29
In-class workshop - 1/30; 1/31

Please note that the last time you will be able to see me to get your proposal checked off for full credit is Friday, January 25th (if you have not done so already). As always with late work, you must count on seeing me before or after school to do this - not during regular class time.

Next week we will be starting The Great Gatsby. Like in Forsberg's class, we will be working in small groups to annotate and explore this text. Please start thinking of a classmate that you would like to work with for a long duration of time (nearly four weeks). All students will be able to choose one partner to work with; afterward, I will group pairs of students together to form groups of four (one of your partners will be chosen, two will be assigned).
