The Last Word on Personal Profiles

I have posted a grading rubric for your personal profiles on Edline.

Final drafts are due Thursday, March 26. Remember that these will be put into a book for other students to read. If you have issues with "personal stuff" in the profile, please see me.

Also, everyone should have started a new book by now. Remember, the theme is "the opposite sex." Book talks are right after spring break.

Revised due dates

We've gotten away from the due dates I gave you a couple weeks ago. For Tuesday, March 24, everybody needs a second draft of your personal profile and one other completed portfolio component (a second short prose piece, the final two poems, or Component D).

Personal Profiles and Other Stuff

Both classes need to bring in complete rough drafts of their personal profiles on Thursday (no extensions for senior skip day, which is not a religious holiday). Remember that this essay needs to be at least 4 pages, so that is can serve as Component C for your portfolio.

You also need to bring in at least a partial draft of Component D, the "other" piece.


Also remember to choose a book--our theme this round is "the opposite sex." Choose a book, either fiction or non-fiction, that you think will give you some insight into the other sex. Stay away from self-help type books, which tend to oversimplify complex issues. Book talks will begin on April 14.
