Hi, Here you can see my document on Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh.

= DANIEL: THIS IS NOT TRUE. THERE IS ONLY ONE DOCUMENT IN THIS LINK. UPLOAD THE OTHERS. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL FAIL HUMANITIES THIS QUARTER. = = MR. B. ON 1/25/11 =

All of the reflections/mini-essays are missing, except for the first. Where are they?

--Mr. Baskin

2/3/11 Dear Daniel: It is not too late for you to hand in/upload the missing Frisby assignments. You only uploaded 6 out of 14. The ones you did to show a fine grasp of both story detail and underlying theme and message. This is really unfortunate. Had you been more diligent, the grade would be much higher. Where are the missing assignments? Overall grade is 60. It's not too late to improve the situation. Mr. Baskin
