TODAY IN CLASS
Inequites to be resolved tomorrow:  goal is to land in exactly the same place.
!st--did NOT stamp the homework for today (see yesterday's post), but we DID finish the dawn passage.  Two thoughts for first-thing tomorrow: 

• What's the exact passage-of-time sequence for the entire Talbothay's dairy experience?
• Think about the black puddings and the drink that Angel brought home as treats for his parents.  What's the "deal" with including them in the text?

Then, we'll proceed, in part based on the quotes you have selected.

6th--Yes, I DID stamp your work for completion.  We'll take it up as soon as possible after picking up with herons, cows, and bejeweled landscape and visage from the passage.  And we'll tuck in the two bulleted points above (look at the text/reflect--no writing necessary).

FOR TOMORROW
Well, that's been partly covered above.

Your outside work has been deliberately light so that you can really focus on the personal essay.  Some of you may really need to try one thing, then another, before even deciding for sure on the topic you'll stick with. 

So you should assume that "homework" is mostly your ongoing essay-writing, and revising even your so-called "first draft" to make it as good as it can be before someone provides Round 1 suggestions.

FINAL ASSESSMENT on Tess
Tuesday, Oct. 1.  In-class closed-book essay: 40 minutes.
