Do YOU believe in an Afterlife?
TAs/Interns
You are all now placed with a teacher/staff member/ at your place of work.
Don't forget to sign your work log EACH time you work. You will need this toward the end of the term and semester. If you keep your binder in my classroom then I can see that you are here, as you are in my attendance folder...to that end, please ensure that you are checking in with me either at the start or end of your block so I can mark you 'present'.
English 12
Your homework is to read The Guest by Albert Camus, p 358. For those of you that don't have textbooks. Please read, it here: L'Hote
There are some questions that need to be completed for our class discussion. These are #3-7 in your textbook. #6: omit the question that asks "How does Daru reflect France's flight?" Everybody should have the questions.
Reminder: (does it qualify as a nag now?) get a lock, hand in your permission slip for Bard, get your planner signed.

There are no reading questions.
If you don't have a copy or a textbook, I have posted copies on the wall outside my door, perhaps you can get your reading done early Monday morning.
Reminder: there are only a few of you who need to get your planner signed (great work!), get a journal and a lock if you do not have one, I will be checking for these on Monday.
Also, get your form signed for the field trip next Wednesday.
