Work Due Friday, March 30th
According to our original work schedule for this quarter, there are two Blog entries that you do not have to have done by this Friday, Book Synopsis 10 and the Editorial Commentary entry. All the other entries should be done for this Friday, March 30th, and include:
1. Historical Entry on Trieste
2. Geographical Entry on Trieste
3. Personal Interest Entry on Trieste
4. Book Synopsis number 9- 250 words this time
The other two items to be finished are:
5. Book Synopsis 10: must be either a BIOGRAPHY or a work of Historical Fiction. Proofed rough draft and final post due by Tuesday, April 3rd. Length is to be 250-300 words.
6. Editorial Commentary: Teacher approved. 500 word maximum. We will review how to do this in class on Thursday, and will base our work on making a "commentary" on The Chocolate War.

I noticed in class Monday that many of you have not finished your three entries on Trieste. Please have them done for Friday. Almost everyone has posted Book Synopsis number 9, however. It would be great to be able to focus as a group on the Editorial Commentary writing all together as a class.
We have a little less than three total weeks left in the third quarter, with the last week divided from the rest of the 3rd quarter by the Easter Holiday break.
