• TO TURN IN YOUR DRAFT: You must email me in a separate email that a draft is ready in your folder. I will not be notified by Google Docs that you have added a document to the folder or that you are ready for me to look at it.
• I believe I am up to date with looking at 3rd drafts. If you turned in a new draft since our conference, check to see if you have comments in the doc and an email. If you don't, send me an email that your draft is ready so I know to look for it in your folder.
• All college admissions essays must be finalized (final draft graded) by Friday, Nov. 10 so the last day I will accept them is Wed. Nov. 8. 

• POW: Shakespearean Sonnet- Discussion of the how the elements of a Shakespearean (English) sonnet help us find meaning in the poem. We will need to use these ideas next week because I will give you the poem to work out and write about in class.
