Close-reading continues . . . 1st period at least got our young narrator to the week that crawled by as he day-dreamed his school days away, focusing only on his week-end excursion to Araby. We move quickly from here--but know that we are headed towards a sure finale on Monday.
Also today: two hand-outs summarizing details for finalizing and submitting the personal essay as well as some basic info on grammar/mechanics expectations plus relevant sources. I'm linking the one with the grammar links to make it easier to find those sources:

Also, you should be aware that although we "missed" National Punctuation Day last week, there is a great website here:

OVER THE WEEK-END
- Well, be working on the essay. You want to get it done, but also done well.
- Be sure that you've finished required literary elements reading in your book.
- If you want to read the story for Tuesday, it's John Updike's "A & P"--can't remember the page, but it's the first real story (after the short sample tales, etc.) in the book.
