"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." Mark Twain

So, needless to say, I'm really bad about keeping up with the blog! I vow to do better...

Make sure you bring your books to class every day. It is very important that you have your own personal book so that you are not distracted by others around you.

If you have not completed the letter, the prompt was as follows:

There are consequences for every decision you make. Suppose a character from one of these selections wrote a letter asking for assistance in dealing with a consequence from a decision he or she made in the story. Write the character's letter using tone to convey the message. Choose another character from one of the other selections and have him or her respond using the appropriate tone of that character.

Please remember to complete reading journals. These seem to be the most neglected assignment and are contributing to severe drops in grades.


Please study the following items for the quarter exam on Tuesday, 10/19 or Wednesday, 10/20:
Verbal, Situational, and Dramatic Irony
The FOSC rubric
The 4 square
TAPing out the prompt
