It's the week before the week before Winter Break! I'm looking forward to continuing with Huckleberry Finn, reading, discussing, acting some of it out, and working on raft projects. We'll also be continuing with the basics of Argument and getting started on the second argument essay.
There have been a few updates this week, none of which were planned, due to absence with the flu on Tuesday. I'm happy to be back and have the classes up to speed!
