Juniors:
I hate the fact that the online textbook wasn't functioning well last night - please take the copies of "To Build a Fire" and have them thoroughly read for when we meet on Thursday. We'll finish up our conversation of the story then. Also on Thursday you'll have a timed writing on your novel. It's important that you have a good chunk of your book read by this point so that you will be able to complete the assignment well. Consider what we did today in class (looking at sample essays/prompts) as a way to prepare for this in-class writing assignment.
Tomorrow we will be spending a bit of time in class talking about the research papers and then moving to the library to spend time researching. Come prepared to work hard on your papers tomorrow. You may even want to start drafting so that you're not left scrambling at the end.
Freshmen:
Next class will be our final class to work on the in-class projects. As I discussed today and yesterday in class, the research projects are coming due soon - namely the rough drafts on the 19th and 20th. If you put forth a lot of energy to the rough draft you will not need to turn in a final draft. Be sure that you make any changes to your introduction and thesis, and have this ready as the first page of your project. After that come the stories on the different topics, and at the end the conclusion and works cited page. On Wednesday/Thursday you will also be getting progress reports as well as a lot of returned work. Don't forget what I said about quiz redos on Friday and Monday.
