just a brief re-cap of what went on in class yesterday, Wednesday.
Below you will find a copy of the take home exam on The Unwanted that was distributed and discussed in class yesterday. After spending two days discussing the memoir, I decided to give you the prompts yesterday instead of waiting until Friday. Thus, as you already know, we are not meeting on Friday. I know you could use the time to work on the take home exam as well as on out of class essay #3.
Also, remember to check the blog before Monday. We will most likely be meeting in a different classroom to view the film on Monday and Wednesday next week. This applies only to section 5 students.
