Instead of Discussion Questions . . .

As promised, here is a post to remind you that we are doing something IN PLACE of discussion questions this coming week. 

On Tuesday, I will be expecting each of you (A-L AND M-Z) to come prepared with a TYPED sheet of paper that includes the following:

1.  One of your favorite (or most interesting) questions from your backlog of submitted discussion questions and

2.  A thoughtful answer to the question, which should be one-two thoughtful paragraphs.  Please back up your answers with evidence from the text.

You will not want to forget to do this.  If you do, you will receive a zero for this week's discussion questions and a zero for the next quiz grade.  (More on that in class on Tuesday).  If you have questions, feel free to email.

Also, if you have turned in an author profile paper and have not conferenced with me, let's set up a time to do that.  This applies to:  Matthew, Halsey, Keona, Emily, and Davis.
