Label all assignments with the Friday date the work is due

All work this week, that is due Friday should have the date September 2, 2011 as the date in each Hall Header.

Poetry can be found at these great sites

If you didn't find an adult contemporary or classic poem in class, you are encouraged to use these sites to find a poem and then type it. You cannot use poetry written specifically for children. The poem must be a minimum of 12 lines long.
The format should have the title of the poem, next line by author's name. Then the poem single spaced. At the end of the poem, next line type: typed by your first and last name. 18 pt type.

You may cut and paste the poem from the website, but then format the poem as above. This typed poem was from last week's station cycle, and is the same poem you will use to write a poetry review piece in class in our stations this week.
