Homework: Finish Portrait and journal over the weekend. Journal is due Tuesday. We will discuss the whole novel Monday, so please be ready for that.
Also, on Tuesday, be ready to discuss your inner talent--if necessary, bring items to enhance your presentation. We will start with the bottom of the alphabet and work backwards, so those with last names closest to Z be ready first thing Tuesday morning!

P.S. Tomorrow we will write a practice intro on the prose passage from the ivory AP Practice Exam that I just gave out. It is the same packet as the one we used for Tuesday's review session.
