EN100. Homework



Dear students

Just a reminder that your homework is due tomorrow. You are to bring a movie review from a newspaper (such as The DominionPost) or magazine or online source to class. A good online source for movie reviews is Rotten Tomatoes although you may have difficulty accessing this at school as for some reason the network nanny software doesn't want you to read movie reviews (I have no idea why!).
