Hanging Out at the Nakatosh Cafe

I am sitting with Mrs. Parrish at out temporary HQ at the Nakatosh Cafe. So far the trip has been great. Occasionally I see one of our chaperone groups occasionally stroll by as we wait for the lights. We will meet back here (corner of Front and Church) at 5:30 PM and walk to the bus at 5:45 PM for a 6:00 PM departure. We are on schedule to arrive at Hobby Lobby at 7:10 PM as planned.

As we walked by the Old Courthouse Museum I noticed that the George Rodrigue exhibit has been extended through 2 February 2008.

A few reminders about the Natchitoches Trip

As we discussed in class:

• We leave CMM at 8:15 AM. Go to your Stallion Roundup for attendance. We will call for you around 8:00 AM.
• The CMM Dress Code is in effect on the trip.
• We will arrive at Hobby Lobby at 7:10 PM. Please arrange to have someone pick you up there.
• We will learn a lot and have fun. Your good behavior makes field trips possible. I know I can expect all of you to be at your best.

Half-Credit for Late Papers

I will grant half-credit for late papers submitted on Thursday, 06 December IF an essay on time management is attached. The essay must be formatted in Times 12-point font, no more than double spaced, and must be a full page or no late credit will be allowed. After Thursday no credit will be allowed.

Poinsettias Delivered on Wednesday

Poinsettia orders arrive on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. Please be prepared to pick them up if you cannot carry them home.

"Open Notes" Test Monday - One Sheet Allowed

As posted on the marker board, our test is Monday. It will cover GLE #34, the American Government videos from Thursday & Friday of the week before Thanksgiving, and the Crusader video covered after the 18 question quiz.

You may bring one 8.5" by 11" sheet of paper with any notes you want for the test. I will collect this paper (not for a grade, but for my records) after the test. The GLE #34 notes are posted on my site (see the last Weekly Preview for a link). The other notes should have been taken in class. If you missed a day, phone a friend for notes.

I seldom give open notes tests, but I know you all want to enjoy your holidays. I will make the rest of the tests for this grading period open notes tests as my holiday gift to you.

As far as the binder check, only concern yourself with what we covered in class. We will be taking a homework holiday for the rest of the grading period (except for the research paper, still due on 4 December).

Happy holidays!!!

BTW, the Natchitoches Trip will be on Friday. Remaining seats are available on a first-come/first serve basis on Monday.
