Icarus Girl Prewrites

If you have not e-mailed me your prewrite, do so ASAP! jessica.deckard@gmail.com is up and working. Do not send it to stm because the server was shut down before power went out in Metairie.

I want to grade your prewrites while I'm evacuated so we can be on schedule when we return to school. Consider that I am 10 hours away from NO (in Murray, KY), so need to get your prewrite Monday or Tuesday to grade it before I drive back on Wednesday. I expect to see you Thursday or Friday at school and don't want to be behind.

I'm so relieved that I will see you soon!
