Things Fall Apart Books

Some of you seem to not have copies of Things Fall Apart, which is a bit surprising. If you need a copy, I will go to school tonight and get a stack of them.

I will leave them in my mailbox at 1046 E. 6th Ave from roughly 8 p.m. tonight until 4 p.m. Monday.

Christmas Break Work

A few thoughts about the Christmas Break work:

  • The Invisible Man test is located here , if you have misplaced it.
  • Please use the new upload system to submit your test. Make sure that you share the document when you are done.
  • The old system is located here . There’s really no great reason to use it. The other one should work on any computer built in the last five years.
  • On either system, please make sure that you share the file with me.
  • Instructions for the new system are here . The link to access it is here .

Update: Actually, it doesn’t really matter which system you use. Please just make sure  that your test appears in one or the other by tonight.

Oliver Revisions, Part 2

I did not get very many revisions of the Mary Oliver poem at all, maybe 15 or so. That’s fine, and means I will give you a final grade based on the first draft that you submitted.

Please do not "forget" to turn in your test at the end of this week. I will have to give you a zero if I do not receive it.

AP Upload Information: Please Read

t's a Christmas miracle for my AP classes: a new system for uploading and sharing essays.

It'd be great for you to try it out over the next few days (tonight, even) to make sure that you understand how to login.

It couldn't be easier.

Please go to the class web site and click on the link on the left hand side menu that is called "NEW Essay Portfolio"

Once
you click on that link, use the username for yourself from this
attached list.  Most of your usernames are exactly the same as the
class web site, but a few had to change because of punctuation and
spaces.  At this moment, all of your passwords are abcd1234

You will be prompted to provide a new password; for the sake of simplicity, I would recommend the same one you use for the class web site.

After that, you should be taken to the Google Docs interface, where
you can upload and share documents to me.  Easy as possible.  Even
better, if you aren't at home or don't have access to Word or
something, you can write the paper right there.

If you have questions or problems, let me know.

The userlist is here.
