I gave the students several important reminders about behavior and dress code as we head toward warmer weather.
Today we had our usual Vocabulary Mini-Lesson. The notes for the Vocab mini-lesson can be found on the Mini-Lesson page. See menu above!
We also had a Mini-Lesson on Revising and Proofreading. The notes for that mini-lesson are in the slide show embedded below.
For the remainder of class I gave the students time with the Netbooks to check their grades and work on their papers.

Do I Dare Disturb the Universe?
And indeed there will be time
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—
[They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”]
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—
[They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”]
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all:—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?
