Thanks to all classes for doing a wonderful job listening to the visiting writer, Sara Tracey, yesterday. Sara speaks highly of her day here. She reminded me how lucky I am to be here working with you.

For today and tomorrow, our goal in Honors is to finish the movie, "A Raisin in the Sun." I look forward to reading your stories that you turned in yesterday.

Our Cp goal is to finish The Road. Those who don't finish will have to finish over break.

Today & tomorrow we are reading, discussing, and analyzing Sara Tracey's chapbook, Flood Year. Sara will be visiting and working with each class this Wednesday.

Just a reminder to honors classes, your "A Raisin in the Sun" creative "10 years later" story is due Wednesday.
