We will be studying this story and two other memoirs next week to prepare for another essay. The "First Day" essay is in. We will write another essay, get someone to read over both, and decide which one should be finalized to be graded.

The grades online are updated and include the quiz from Thursday. I will enter this week's homework and participation later.
