1.  Your Research papers are in.  I will call you up one at a time and give you your paper.  There are two scores on it.  The Writing Grade is worth 100 and the Formatting Grade is worth 100.

The teacher who graded them did a couple things different than I do.  Numbers are an issue.  Also citing (she wants way more citations in each paragraph for each quote).

If you are unhappy with your grade, I will re read it.  BUT, I would be happy with what you have.  If I have to re read it, I will REALLY REALLY READ IT!  And 5 points per error is the way that I grade.  Your choice.  For the 5 people who have had me do this, they were not happy.

5.  We have one more week of Caesar.  Then we start our class novels.  You were silly to not listen.  Also, if you plan on dressing on Ides of March instead of doing the book, that won't work.  No book, no extra credit.  I will take the points off.
