Day 15: M.L.A. format and essay choices

First we will go over what you plan to write for your narrative.  Yes, it was homework.  No, I don't have time to let you brainstorm even more ideas.

So, we'll do a once-around and see what you have for topics.  If you don't have one, you are in for lunch.

Two, you are going to meet up with two partners and take five minutes to share your story.  Share everything you can about it.  It is then their job to try and determine what your thesis, or the point of your story is.

Finally, I'm going to give you brief notes on what M.L.A. format is, and how I expect your essays to look.

Homework:  Exit card #7 (Edmodo)  Due tomorrow by the time you come to class.
Typed, rough draft is due on Friday, 250 - 500 words.
