The New SAT

Here's a link to a recent article in the New York Times that provides some background info to a test you'll be taking either at the end of this school year, and most definitely during the next school year.  The title of the article says all, " Everything You Need to Know About the New SAT ."  Would it be considered dumbing down?  Only time will tell. 

MC Assn over Thanksgiving Week

Here is just a reminder since I see that some of you turned in essays to me, but didn't submit them to turnitin.com.  You were required to do both.  These essays will not be graded as a result.  Don't let this happen with the MC assignment as well.  Make sure you do submit the multiple choice assignment to turnitin.com, and print out a copy to turn in before class begins. If you try to use class time to print, then your assignment will be considered late and can only earn half of the total points.  If you are late to class because you were printing it elsewhere, it will also be considered late and receive the same treatment.  You must learn to respect deadlines . You must follow instructions for submission of assignments.  As far as I'm concerned, if the assignment has not been turned in to the website and in class at the beginning, it will not be graded.  Follow directions, please.
