Self-Definition Due on Wednesday!!

Timed Write Make-Up Reminder: 
If you did not come in after school on Tuesday (four people did!), be sure to be here on Wednesday morning at 8:40 a.m.  Have loose-leaf paper and a blue or black pen. . . .

TODAY IN CLASS
First, there was a change-of-schedule announcement:  Due to a religious holiday on Thursday, the first significant Atonement assessment will be on Friday, Sept. 10.

1. Then we got started on what was intended to be the main event of the day--before I found out on Friday that we would be getting planners today. 

• Hand-out:  the opening section of John Steinbeck's story "The Chrysanthemums"
• Instructions:  first, notice the "color scheme" of just the first two paragraphs (I think I might have told 1st period just the first paragraph; that's OK).  Then read/lightly annotate the rest of the hand-out, and write a short paper (a paragraph or two) about the most salient stylistic features you notice.  Include the use of colors for sure--otherwise it was up to you.
• Problem:  Because of the planner presentation, we didn't have the full 25-30 minutes I wanted you to have to spend on this.
• Solution:  Yes, you need to spend the 15-18 minutes at home that your section "deserves" as additional time.

2.  Planner Presentation:  If you were absent, you will need to go to the office to get your planner, because you are required to sign a list.

FOR TOMORROW
As noted above, finish up and bring "The Chrysanthemum" quick-writes.

But the main thing for Wednesday is the Self-Definition:

• Be sure that you have followed the directions, particularly with respect to formatting. If you have lost the instructions, you can access them here:
• https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1HVTgrBNnXa5YnoK5QvTZULqguKQLSCZHNDajz_Xjdac&authkey=CJuuhOQG&hl=en&pli=1#
• Turn in the stamped resume with the Self-Definition
• If the stamped version was hand-written or merely a typed list with no formatting at all, you need to type up at least a draft in resume format, and turn them BOTH in.
• If you needed to make additions to the original resume, it's OK to just make them by hand, and you can revise it more fully by the time the Career Center requires it later this fall.  You don't need to "make it pretty" for this assignment
• Be sure that you have saved your Self-Definition as a single document.
• Turning it in to turnitin.com--because of the planner presentation, I didn't deal with this in class today. Therefore it is not required for tomorrow.

HOWEVER--some people like to be pro-active. Here is what you need if you are used to doing turnitin.com. and want to get it set up and your paper submitted this evening.
