We will begin our novel later
next week.
Starting late next week, we will do approximately one chapter
a day. There are 10 chapters. Add a few days for test, essay, etc.- I expect we
we get in done in three weeks.
DISTRIBUTE “Thought Questions Chapters
1-10”
Later next week, we will begin the novel Animal Farm.
We should get it done in three weeks of so.
I will pass out the novels early next week. Usually, students
have pay to use the novels. They have to leave a deposit in the office. I am
not going to do that. I will hand out the novels to you. I trust that you will
take care of them and return them to me.
If you decide to leave the class, please give me my novel
back.
I will email you a link for a pdf of the novel if you want
to get started on it.
