Welcome to the 2nd semester of Literary & Creative Arts!!!

Boy do we have some great things planned! 

We will pass out a syllabus in class so you'll have a paper with all the info and due dates on them, but I will also include it at the end of this post so you can reference it here as well.

Please remember to get the book Leonardo daVinci by Diane Stanley and read it. We will have a discussion on it on February 26. Be sure to have it read by then so we can have an engaging discussion!

Here's a quick rundown of when things will be due:

Feb. 19 - Rough draft of Personal Narrative Due, make enough copies to give to everyone to comment on

Feb. 26 - Return rough drafts with your comments on them

Feb. 26 - This is also the day for our book discussion on Leonardo daVinci

Mar. 4 - (Wed) FINAL DRAFT of Personal Narratives DUE on blog

Apr. 23 - THE BIG DAY! You need to have your literary arts magazine completed and ready to order by this day. No later! Yes, it can be finished and ordered earlier if you like, but this is the for sure deadline for ordering!
