Essay

We are in full swing of writing about our historical fiction novels.  Complete FIRST DRAFT of Response to Text is due on Thursday.   We will have some class time on Thursday and Friday to work on conferencing and getting the essay typed.  The SECOND DRAFT is due on Monday.  Second draft needs to be typed, and should show evidence of improvement over the first draft.  

On the horizon:
  Next week we'll work on improving and proofreading second draft and creating a final draft.  Also, students will give book talks beginning on Wednesday or Thursday.  These book talks must include a visual component.
