I hope you had a productive period of peer review today.  Tomorrow we will review punctuating dialogue, and you will have time for one more read-through of your narrative piece.  

Remember that the final draft is due on Wednesday to turnitin.com.

Please remember that the rough draft of your original narrative piece (short story) is due on turnitin.com by Wednesday.  I’m really looking forward to reading them!

Film Map and Questions

Since we completed the film The Village today, the film map and questions should be completed for Monday’s discussion.  We will be meeting in the Media Center again to discuss the similarities between the film and some of the stories we have read this quarter.  I hope you enjoyed it!
