Greetings,
Below you will find two of the three handouts from today's class. I did not include the note taking sheet on character analysis. Below are:
1. out of class essay 3 assignment
2. suggested vocabulary for character analysis
A few more things....
1. please be sure to bring your copy of The Unwanted to class on Wednesday
2. there are a few students who have excessive absences. This class meets only twice a week, as you know, and not only do you take a chance of missing an in class assignment, but even more importantly, you miss instruction. I am not addressing the students who have had to be absent and who have contacted me about the absence. With that said, use your class contact sheet to obtain any notes you miss during your absence. For example, everything you need to be aware of is not always found in the syllabus or on a handout.
