Today students turned in the vocab and claims from On Essay's: Literature's Most Misunderstood Form.  Additionally, they wrote an informal reflective letter to me describing the state of their reading lives.  Does it exist?  If not, why not?  What was the last book you read?  How do you feel about reading overall?  In this letter, each student set a realistic reading goal for him/herself.  That is how many books can you read by the end of the semester if you take into consideration that I will give you an entire independent reading hour every Monday? Also, maybe cut out a little Netflix or Facebook or Instagram?  Upon your return, please turn in the letter and the previous night's homework.
