After practicing "Close Reading" techniques in class on Tuesday, you need to read Book 11 (handout from class) as homework and mark up AT LEAST one page, using the Close Reading guidelines. I will check your understanding of the process and we will have some class discussion of the text on Thursday (2-21) before moving into the next section.

Upcoming deadlines: on Thursday, Feb. 21, you will get the directions for the Odysseus character paragraphs. The sentence practice we have been doing should help you complete this assignment. You will have time to peer edit on Monday, but any quotes need to be already written down before the weekend, in order to be ready to submit the completed mini-essay on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

Thursday, Feb. 28 is your first Close Reading test (attempt at proficiency for RL4/L4).
