Urgent announcement
My dear 5th period students,
You will have to forgive me for not being more careful (twice in one day), but I had a tech guy come in and take a look at my printer this afternoon and unfortunately some of your assignments were not saved when the program was closed. I know that I had input points already for warm ups and Photo/realism questions. If you have these materials tomorrow, do not throw them away. I will need to see the score I had given you. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Ms. Ramirez
PS. If you can bring me this before school or during 1st lunch it would be great.

Weekend Homework
Weekend Homework
- Read the handout on Romanticism and highlight any important information.
Many of you did not do to good on your pop quiz. Therefore, I would like for you to read a little more about Romanticism. Consider some of the selections we have read so far and how they fit into the Romantic period. We will be discussing this further with Poe.
