Mostly Monday!

Block A: Thank you all very much for completing and handing in your short stories, I look forward to reading them! Today in class we started thinking about three big ideas: identity, isolation and survival. These will be the big topics that encompass our novel study. I will give you your novel choices tomorrow, for tonight - no homework :)

Block B: We finished the novel! There was certainly a great level of concentration in today's class, as you worked on your final reflections for the novel. If you didn't get a chance to finish the questions in class - you will get time at the beginning of class tomorrow to finish them up.

Block D: Today we got started on the rough draft of your essays. The draft must be double-spaced and written by hand. No typed drafts will be accepted. Make sure you are following the rules of integrating your quotations as smoothly as possible, use signal phrases and parenthetical citations. The rough draft is due on class on Wednesday for self editing.
