Updates! Please Read This

Hi Everyone,

As you already know, our spring quarter is going to be really busy because of the AP test, and Mr. Janus even told us that we're going to start getting a lot more work and we'll have to do some major cramming. As a result, and I don't think this is unreasonable, I would like to have all of the articles completed before the quarter ends, so that next quarter, you won't have to do anything!!! Doesn't that sound nice?

Therefore, we need to work a little bit harder right now, because the quarter ends in two weeks.

New Due Dates:

Friday, March 7th - 20's articles rough drafts due

Tuesday, March 11th - 20's articles rough drafts due

Friday, March 14 - 20's articles final drafts due

Tuesday, March 18 - 60's articles final drafts due

This takes us right up until the last day of the quarter (march 18th), which means that some of you might be thinking that if you don't turn in your finals, I won't be able to do anything about it because we go on break. There are no exceptions (unless you come talk to me and you have a legitimate reason for not turning in your work).

So far, I have not been talking to Mr. Janus about those of you who have not been meeting the deadlines and are turning in poor quality work (and I know that you can do better than what some of you have been giving me...this is important). If, however, you decide not to meet that deadline at the end of the quarter, I will be sending an email to Mr. Janus about your lack of cooperation with the magazine. Please take this seriously.

Here is the list of topics and what everyone is assigned to for the 20's articles:

Music (Jazz) - Ethan

Cars, Henry Ford - Nathaniel

Flappers - Sara

Hairstyles - Natalia

Invention of the Radio - Matt

Art Deco - Clare

Art (Expressionism, Surrealism) - Lida

Film - Liz A

Charles Lindbergh - Jeff

"Egyptomania" - Liz M

Scopes Monkey Trial - Hannah and Warren

Crossword Puzzles - Sarah

Houdini - Julie

British Imperialism - Alma

*keep in mind that many of these things were primarily in the U.S., so be sure to clarify (i.e. "the flapper movement in the U.S. has taken off..." etc.)

Those of you who have not given me final drafts of your Enlightenment articles - and especially if you haven't given me your rough drafts of your Enlightenment articles - TURN THEM IN NOW, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!

Also - remember that if you're having trouble or if you have any questions, you can email me at babimozart@yahoo.com, and if you want you can ask me for my cell phone number, and you can call anytime. (I don't want to post it on the blog...there are some creepy people on blogger...)
