Lori Home Sick- Book Groups and Reading Time

Hey everyone- I got hit with a stomach virus last night, and am in no shape to be at school today.  Instructions for you are below.  Lucky you, you get extra reading time in class!  I will see you all tomorrow.  Please feel free to email me with questions- I'll be checking my email periodically throughout the day.

No Starter Today

Peer Critique (60 min)
See the document linked above for critique groups and instructions.  It should look familiar- it's very similar to the college essay process.

Today you should get through 3 essays.  Each person needs 5 printed copies for critique.  Please do NOT do this digitally- you will read more comprehensively on paper.

Book Group Discussions
I'm moving your first book group discussion to today, rather than Monday.  See the document linked above for groups, instructions, and discussion questions.  I understand that everyone may not be totally done with the reading assignment- that's okay, just get as far as your group can go right now, and we'll get back on the same page (hahaha) on Thursday.
