Ah, much easier to write than it was to talk today. Today the Gatsby papers were taken off your hands by me. (what's wrong with that sentence?) I also took back the books, so if you didn't have them with you today please bring them tomorrow. You also got a new assignment today. The good news is that you won't be writing a formal paper for Their Eyes Were Watching God but instead looking at other people's papers. I gave you some class time today to get started on finding your articles, but I quickly realized why I don't like to give work time. Remember your articles should be analyzing the text not just summarizing or reviewing it. The easiest way to tell if it is the right thing is to look at the title--if it's long and pretty specific then it is probably correct.
Upcoming: Finish the novel by tomorrow (that means you should be reading right now!)
Quotes due Thursday and vocab test Friday.
