A WORD ON "I" REPORTS: If you receive an "I" on part or a whole of an assignment, it means that you are not yet meeting the expectations for that assignment or component of the assignment. This is a great opportunity! In most cases, Mr. Hamilton will show in a rubric or commentary how you can achieve competency. After a discussion with him where you agree upon a new completion date, you will be allowed to revise the assignment and resubmit WITH THE ORIGINAL AND RUBRIC ATTACHED. It will then be re-assessed to see if it then meets the competencies for the assignment.
Did you enjoy yourself at Word! at the Writers' Festival? Do you want to see more live poetry performances? Are you curious about performing poetry yourself live in front of people? If so, think about checking out Cafe Deux Soleils every fourth Monday for the Youth Poetry Slam.
