Reminder: our first poetry roundtables are on Mar. 29. The students who are hosting the roundtable need to get their hard copy materials to me in digital form so that I can format them for printing for the rest of the class. Please do this by Sunday, so I can photocopy on Monday, Mar. 28.
The roundtables are Charlene's, Abdullah's, and Roxanne's.
Thursday is Shanika, Bernardo, and James. I will need these papers in digital form by March 30.
If you do not get the material to me by the deadline date, you can make your own copies for distribution to the class.
