Shortened periods today due to parent teacher interviews. Myth Skits continue today and Friday... Use your time this afternoon wisely. You need to hand in **PART ONE of the summative on MONDAY.** Also, Monday is the day people will share what they learned in the library yesterday. **LIBRARY PERIOD TO BEGIN RESEARCH** FOR TKAM (__To Kill a Mockingbird)__ PM class: due to my absence, presentations will continue on THURSDAY.

 * FRIDAY, Oct. 26 **
 * IF you are handing in your SONG/POEM, please include the **lyrics,** the **name of the recording artist**, and **a written explanation** of the ways in which the MEANING OF THE SONG CONVEYS ONE of the literary skills (character development, character connection to theme, or conflict that shapes character). This explanation **should be thorough**. In order to fully develop your ideas and provide a thorough answer, you will need at least **250-350 wds.**
 * Your poster should clearly convey **in a visual manner** either character development, how the central character is connected to the theme (so you must also clearly state the theme), or the ways in which a major conflict has shaped a central character. **The poster is a VISUAL product but can incorporate some text. However, it should be mostly VISUAL, not a written assignment mounted on a poster.**
