Thursday

In Class
We finished reading "To Build a Fire"

Homework
1. Bring in the signed release form
2. Prepare for class discussion. You will be working in groups to closely analyze this text. Please come prepared with questions and with sections of the text you'd like to mention. Think in terms of theme and the literary elements that are used to support that theme. Your participation in discussion will count as a test grade, so please be prepared!!!

A Note about Grades
1. If you are absent, you are allowed to make up work. You need to know, however, that this is YOUR responsibility. If you are absent, your grade in mygradebook.com will be a zero until it is made up. Quite a few of you have lower grades than you should because you have not either made up the homework or seen me to turn it in.
2. You have up to FORTY points of extra credit coming. Please strongly consider doing this work to ameliorate your grades!!
