January 9 - 13 Assignments listed here represent the "Plan" for the week. Plans of course are subject to change as needed, so this should not be considered the last word on what will take place in class or will be assigned for homework. When plans do change however, the changes will be reflected here (hopefully by the evening of the day in which they are known to exist).
  
Poetry Mini-Projects begin on Monday. The individual parts
of the project should be completed by Friday. We will put the
project together, edit and revise next week.
