A Reminder: When you are absent when an assignment is due (Book XVI Annotation Assignment, Wednesday-June 4) you are required to turn in that assignment on the very next day that you return to school-even though your class may not meet on that day- I observed several of these students in school on Friday, 6 June). Furthermore, I was NOT pleased with the quality of the annotations-you were supplied with the "annotations" to locate in the text and then write-out that annotation next to the related line that appeared on the page. Lately, several students have not exerted too much effort on the most recent assignments, causing their average to drop...

ANOTHER REMINDER:

The Odyssey: Who's who TEST on Monday, 9 June-Study your handout... Just in case you have misplaced your handout that you received-with the holes punched so that it could be placed in your loose-leaf binder... (click on "Who's who above...)

NOTE: Diedrich is disappointed by the results on your QUIZ for Books 15 and 16. He can not believe how students can perform so poorly when he provided the possible answers to the questions where students only had to answer TEN questions out of TWENTY (or FIVE questions out of TEN for each of the Books.) By the answers selected, Diedrich suspected that a reading of the actual "Book" was not conducted and that students may have referred to a "summary/analysis" of the Books found by simply a "Google" search.

(Dear Parents: Your child was aware of this QUIZ on Monday, 2 June and was told to engage in a "close-reading" of Book 16 for the QUIZ on Wednesday.)

Your score will be entered on Jupiter! 

He is also disappointed with the quality of the ANNOTATIONS submitted for Book 16.

Just a reminder, you were directed on Wednesday, 4 June to read Book 19 for Monday, 9 June. See link below for the Fagle's translation. You will be administered a QUIZ-without any answer choices-immediately upon entering the classroom!
