I collected the short stories today. When I return them, you will have a chance for a second or third revision stage before we send them out to attempt publication.

Today's class focused on writing clearer thesis statements, improving literary paragraph writing and adding corrections to your ICS sheets. The handouts outline how to proceed. Focus on one or two writing goals in your next draft; otherwise, too many goals may overwhelm you.

We also read at least 15 pages from our USSR books. Are you meeting your reading goals?

How is the literacy project going? Re-read the outline. Make sure that you are following the criteria. If you need to refocus, do so this week and apply yourself diligently over the next six weeks.
