Today, I woke up feeling exceedingly ill and so I did not make it in today.

While I'm not there, you should do the following:
1) Complete the MC practice on your own or in groups.
2) Finish reading Quentin's section
3) Discuss the questions for Quentin's section on the paper that was given out in class. I have also attached it here.

Tomorrow, we will review the MC practice and talk about Quentin's section (and play Apples to Apples: AP Lit style)

I'm sorry I wasn't there today, but I'm looking forward to seeing all of your lovely faces tomorrow!
