End of marking period 1/20-1/23

1. Submit SOKOL entries (also Gannon, Lelia Tupper)

2. Work on personal narrative (2-3 pages) in the style of David Sedaris. Select a humorous incident from your own life. Inject observations about life, interesting digressions and thoughts. Do not be afraid to enhance the story/anecdote with "the craft of writing"--hyperbole (exaggeration), witty commentary, clever quips, sarcasm, etc.

3. Continue reading David Sedaris to get a sense of the style. We will discuss on Friday.

4. ESSAYS WILL BE DUE FRIDAY!!!!!

5. No midterm
