CULMINATING PROJECT, a state high school graduation requirement:  OCT. 15

12th grade: Senior English classes assign a Resume and and answer to Question #1 in September. Note: Resumes completed in Bridges in 10th grade cannot be used for your senior resume. All Seniors (even those not in English classes at IHS) must complete a resume and the typed answer to Question 1. The resume and question 1 are turned into the Career Center by October 15th of senior year. Senior Resume Guidelines and Expectations

Senior Packet for the Culminating Project

See the resume section of the College Resource Handbook for more help with resumes.

Both the resume and response to Question 1 must be typed, of course.  Be sure to save them both in a way that can be accessed at school.

Ongoing current reading schedule:  Short Story Unit Calendar/Reading List

TODAY IN CLASS
Both classes wound up at the same not-quite-finished spot yesterday:  right up to the narrator's trip to the bazaar.  There's much to do with that, of course, but we will try for quick focus on Monday.  Obviously you can "see" the import of the final sentence . . . be prepared to account for what is surely pretty plain as well as what might not be.  The word "vanity" . . . what are all its meanings?

But FOR MONDAY
Read John Updike's "A & P" (649-654).

The schedule also says to read the intro section on Theme (Ch. 4); what I've decided is the story--a likable, "easy" one--is better for this Salmon Days week-end, and we'll work with the theme section "with a purpose" over Monday/Tuesday.
