Everyone says they hate the teacher but every good student says that they loved her but her work was hard for the slackers because she wants the deep stuff.

But that's not the point.

English 2H.
Today in her class I got a fifty point project/assignment. It's due tomorrow.
Other classes got the assignment a day before. It's due tomorrow but they got a day to work on it.
Other classes got an explanation on how to do the assignment.
WE had to leave because we had an assembly all period.

So she gives us this assignment.
Goes, it's due on Friday, I forgot to give it to you guys the day before yesterday~ (We have block Tuesday and Wednesday, I don't have her Wednesday and Tuesday was the first day of school)
We had to leave for the assembly.
So it's due tomorrow.
With no explanation.

*sighs*
Okay so it isn't an essay or report.
It's a Bio Poem (Biography Poem)

You're thinking, "Oh it's just a poem. That should be easy Ems!"

Well, it goes
Line 1: First name
Line 2: (adjectives that describe you)
Line 3: siblings
Line 4: Who loves...
Line 5: Who feels.... (something that makes you feel happy about you)
Line 6: Who feels.... (emotions that make you, you)

and so on and so forth.

Okay so you're thinking "Well there's a guideline there Em! What's the problem?"

The problem is that I don't know if I would be able to switch the wording around or if I have to follow that exactly how it is.

Switch the wording:
Emily
She's honest, kind and naive
who has an older brother that would protect her to the end of the world.
She loves the ideas and inspiration of others that come from their creativity and
being the best she can be is what keeps her going.
She's motivated, confident, and open-hearted (that's an adjective isn't it? I'll have to change that...)
etc. etc.


Keep the wording:
Emily
Honest, kind and naive
Vinny
Who loves creativity
Who feels being the best she can be keeps her forever happy
Who feels motivated, confident and (something else, eh)


See the difference? Now they both don't matter to me since they both sound fine. I'd just really like to change my words to make it sound nicer!

Oh, and it's supposed to be like some kind of greeting card.


Well, you ask "Why don't you ask one of your friends Em?"
Because the only friend I know that has her is in the same class with me and just as confused as I am.
You go, "Oh... well have you tried sending the teacher an email?"
Yes, yes I have.
I'm still waiting for it and I'm hoping I'll get it soon.
Hopefully before night so I can work on it.

"Does she take late work?" you ask.
Yeah, and if I don't get a reply by tonight I'm going to turn it in Monday and nice and pretty and worked hard on. It'll be a B but I'd rather turn in something right and over-achieved, late, for a letter grade off then turn it on time wrong even if I tried my best on it.

Hmm...if you don't get a reply, then why not just write both on the page? Then you can explain when you hand it in that since she didn't fully explain it to the class, you didn't understand the assignment. That way it shows that you tried and put forth the effort. Then from there we'll all hope that they don't do something like that to the class again.

Oh boy, I didn't get to see that till today (Saturday) since I had to go eat then they wouldn't let me get on the computer (or to be more precise, my brother was already on the computer) and I mean, I was pooped so I just fell asleep.

But I dunno when she got the email but I checked after school Friday and she sent it to me and all it said was "Not a problem, you don't have to say their names either" I mean, it answered what I asked about the wording, didn't say a thing about the due date (so I'm gonna turn it in Monday) and answered what I didn't even ask xD

When we had to read the poems out loud I think she read the email and knew I didn't have it done. So I'll just turn it in Monday and get a B.

Next time though, I'll be sure to read the assignments and then go after school if I have any questions. We all gotta learn sometime..

Sorry I didn't get to see your comment, that was a really good idea too...
