Do step #3 on Quick Write #4. Don’t spend any more than 20 minutes on this assignment. Remember, by body paragraph I mean a paragraph about one of your claims or reasons. Try to use some of the techniques we talked about to day in class if you can.

Reread the story “The Struggle to be an All-American Girl.” Answer the question: What do you think the author wants us to know about people in general?

Please be ready to do your presentation on the day you signed up. There may be a chance for people to do Garage Band audio files on a one at a time limited basis, so if you forgot your CD today, you can bring it tomorrow. I can’t guarantee you will have time, but you might. We are moving onto a some reading activities. Presentations will happen during the last 10 or 15 minutes. I will still stay after school to work on Garage Band projects for those who don’t have time in class.
