I just don't like it. Why? Because.

Since the school year is rapidly coming to a close, I thought this would be the appropriate time to throw a little extra credit your way. We’ve talked about your favorite books and genres. Let’s explore what you dislike with a passion. Tell me what is the worst book you’ve read and why it was horrible. Give this some thought and don’t write the lame review of, “I just didn’t like it”, “Because” (like in a plain “because”; you can use the word “because” if you’re explaining yourself.) “I don’t know…” I want solid details!! This assignment must be completed by Friday, May 21st. 
Until next time!

It's About That Time Again

The new marking period has started, report cards are going out, and we're prepping our bottoms off for the E.O.G.  Are you feeling a little stressed?  Need something to take the edge off of that headache that you get whenever you come to my class?  How about some extra credit?  Just post a comment and it's yours!  You need to post by Friday, May 7th.  I bet my remedy beats Tylenol 10 to 1. 
May your stress be relieved...for now.
