Huckleberry Finn Delay

I'm not sure if I mentioned this in both classes: the Huckleberry Finn reading that was due Monday and Tuesday is delayed to Wednesday and Thursday. I would rather move forward with the writing workshops. So, for Monday and Tuesday, bring three revised pages of your essay. Those of you who are sharing your work should bring enough copies for me and your classmates (16 in the odd-day class; 13 in the even-day class).

On Wednesday and Thursday, we'll spend about thirty minutes checking in on your progress with Huckleberry Finn (you will have some questions to answer and to think about for the next check-in), and we'll spend the remainder of class workshopping two student essays and reviewing additional writing strategies.

Snow Day Revisions

For Thursday, Feb. 3 (Day 1), bring your revised essay. As we discussed in class, focus on the nouns and the sentences. Read the handout distributed in class.

For Friday, Feb. 4 (Day 2), bring 1-2 pages of the essay on the topic of your choice, as was scheduled for Wednesday.
