A few points of business:
1. Pieces of work
ALL outstanding pieces of work must be submitted by Wednesday, 6 April. Check your bedrooms! In particular, there are a number of Merchant of Venice research pieces missing. Please also bring in your older jotters, as they contain important pieces of work for your folios...
Which leads me on to...
2. Folios!
All of you have had the opportunity to compile a full folio this year so far. We have completed no less than nine (wow!) 'folio-able' pieces, with two more on the way (Shylock's Journal and the Merchant of Venice critical essay) in the coming month. You will be choosing five of these pieces this May to redraft, label and formally place in your folio for consideration next January/February when we make the final decisions about your folios, including work completed June through December. This final folio is sent to the SQA in early 2012 for external marking.
3. Winners of the class 'top three' prizes will be announced Monday.
4. Reading Period
Our new reading period will take place every Thursday until we break for the summer--expect to do some work with your novels after the Easter Break. We'll also try to do some work with newspaper articles and other non-fiction texts.
