Today's agenda:

As you all know, I am out of town today and you should do the following:

1. Your poetry response. REMEMBER, all of the poetry response documents can be found on the resources page of this page. Just look for the folder called "poetry responses"
2. Review the How to Read Like a College Professor powerpoint. Go to the resources page, click on "major works documents" and then the folder called How to Read...
3. Read and annotate the test case, a story called "The Garden Party". That can be found in the same folder as the power point. I have also made copies and the sub will give them out tomorrow.

Your seminar on Tuesday will be on the Garden Party.
