BRIT LIT: SENIOR MEMORY BOOK UPDATE!

Okay Brit Lit Folks,
Third quarter comes to a close on Friday and that means you have another 5 Senior Memory Book drafts due in your writer's notebooks ON MONDAY, APRIL 7th! For some of you this will mean you've met the required 25 drafts, but for those who are looking to meet more than the average requirement, keep going! The requirements are for at least 25-30 finished pieces due in about a month!

ALL STUDENTS SHOULD BE KEEPING UP WITH TYPING AND FORMATTING ON THEIR OWN TIME, AS THE AVAILABILITY FOR CLASSES TO GET BOOKED INTO A COMPUTER LAB IS EXTREMELY LIMITED!!!
