JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors]

This week the skies are threatening.  Rain is often used as a literary device in stories.  Why?  What does it symbolize to you?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Emerson feedback & revision
3. Dust off your resume


HW:
1. On your blog, post a reflection on your Emerson writing.  What did you do well?  What do you need to work on?  (blog post title: AUTHOR IN PROGRESS)
2. If you haven't already, read "On Self-Reliance" to the end and post your notes you took from your reading and our class discussions (title: I'M SELF-RELIANT)
3. It's great reading weather... curl up with a good book-- and work on your current literature analysis #DueFriday
4. Do you have a résumé or a brag sheet?  If you do, bring it to class tomorrow.
