TODAY IN CLASS
1.  The college essay prospectus papers were returned.  (3rd and 6th, I have one related task for you to do tomorrow in class.) 
2. 1st and 3rd got started on "Granny Weatherall" with general discussion of several characteristics (varied with each class); 6th period met in groups--covered their own subject well, did a partial jig-saw to find out the key ideas from two other groups.  And 1st period looked at two related poems (Emily Dickinson); 3rd and 6th will pick that up later.
3. And 6th got some further application info from a Cornell admissions lecture . . . 1st and 3rd will get that tomorrow.

As you can see, this was mostly to keep me aware of who has done what.

FOR TOMORROW
No new reading/writing.  Consider tonight a "get started on your essay" evening.
