TUESDAY'S WITH MORRIE
FINAL RESPONSE
ATTENTION:
I was very pleased with how you all used class time to write today (Wednesday). While I feel like most of you were far enough along to get it "done" for Friday, I'm not feeling like it will be "finished" (as in a finished/ polished example of your finest work). Therefore, I am giving you an additional work period Friday and have booked the library so that this can be typed/ finished/ polished. This project will be due, typed Tuesday, November 22.
