= Attention students! = I am changing the due-date of the interview essay assignment. Unfortunately, I will not be able to respond to all of your essays this weekend, though I will try. I will give you time in class on Wednesday to conference with me and continue to make revisions and have the essay due the following week if you want more time.

Thanks for your patience!
