Textbook update

Attached is the latest in the great textbook hunt!

Unfortunately, it’s still not a complete list–see the attached document for details. Please note, however, that I have REMOVED the Fast Food Nation book from the list. I decided to spend more time on the Independent Study Literature Projects instead of squeezing in another book. :)

Dual Enrollment Textbooks for 08-09

sdecarlo7 — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:22:32 +0000

Here we are in the middle of our summer vacation–and thinking about textbooks? But yes, there is a definite advantage to looking at the list now and finding the best prices.

However, the list the University has given me does not have ISBN numbers–and there are several versions/editions of the books.

Please check back here in a few days. When I receive MY copies (Wednesday, I hope), I will give you the exact titles and numbers.

So, enjoy your summer a few more days! :)

Senior Blog, May 8

Z: Zero. I’ve got nothing. I’ve taken you down every path I can think of, and now nothing seems fitting as an end to your senior blog. So choose your own “z” word. Zenith, Zest, Zigzag, Zip. Maybe it is fitting that I send you back to the dictionary. Look over the words. Do some reading. Enjoy the surprises. Choose a word that fits YOU on the occasion of your last days of high school. Choose well. Always.

Senior Blog, May 7

Y: Yesterday. Think back to one day in the last four years that you would want to relive. Not to change it, but to enjoy every second. This day will probably be one you spent doing your “favorite thing.” It might include a personal high point–the championship game, a successful test grade. Or it might be a “normal” day with someone you love or admire. Describe the day and its circumstances and why you’d want to revisit it.

X: X-ray. X-rays reveal what’s inside–literally. But what about “figuratively.” What if people could see inside you? What would they find? Are you stubborn, afraid, shy, sentimental, competitive? What about your personality is not usually visible to the “naked eye”?

W: What’s next? Your high school days are coming to a close. You’ll be off on your next adventure. Discuss what you’ll be doing after graduation. Work? College? Military service? Not sure yet? Explain why you’ve made the decisions you’ve made.
