Personal Essays Were Due Today

IN CLASS
 . . . and most of you were prepared, with both papers in class as well as on turnitin.com   If you had your essay in class but did not upload to turnitin.com, there will be a penalty, but if you get it into the folder sometime today, it will be a relatively light nick. Tomorrow's late folder is a whole other deal.   Students also received the hand-out for the revision, which has a "sliding" due date; I'll accept them as soon as Wednesday, Oct. 10, but the deadline in online at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 17, and due in class on Thursday, Oct. 18.

If you haven't looked ahead, Wednesday, Oct. 18  the PSAT/Freshman Activity Day, and seniors report only for 6th period.  Yes.  That's the deal.  Your paper is thus due online no later than at the END of that day, and the hard copy in class on Thursday.  (Of course, if you get your paper done before the 17th, well, there will be no English homework to worry about that day.)

FOR TOMORROW
No homework; we'll get back to the opening sections of Beowulf in 1st/3rd, and start discussing the text in 5th.  Be sure to have your book with you in class.
