Today in class you...
1. Edited outlines
2. Worked on introductions
3. Worked on outlines/rough drafts
It sounds like many of you are struggling with your thesis statements for The Stranger and I am so sorry I wasn't there today to help you. That being said, if you need help, you have a few choices:
1. You can email me (which I know doesn't always facilitate the best discussion).
2. You can come to conferences and we can discuss the essay.
3. You can come by my room tomorrow between 2 and 3:45-- teachers have to be at school tomorrow and I can meet with you during that time to discuss any questions you have.
I'm moving the due dates/homework assignments around. For MONDAY, please have a complete outline that includes-- thesis, topic sentences, quotations and as much analysis as you can do.
Looking ahead:
a. Rough drafts will be due on Tuesday.
b. Final drafts will be due on Thursday.
c. We will still check out Dystopian texts next week so prepare to make your choice of novel by Monday.

P.S. Overall, your commentary re-writes are EXCELLENT.
