Class, This week, I would like you all to finish reading Huckleberry Finn and prepare for your literary circle. We will also have a midterm jeopardy-style game, so review your notes and the blog. I will have questions on every major topic covered. :) We will not have a regular quiz. Also, please bring in your Oxford Book of American Poetry. We are going to be covering Robert Frost in class. I'm not sure we will get the other two stories assigned covered so I will move those to January. We will also have our white elephant party. Remember, this is a gag gift. You are not supposed to go out and buy something, but find some useless/unwanted item from your home to re-gift. Our final class will hopefully be a fun one. We will have an ugly sweater contest with prizes! If you would like to prepare and share a treat, you are welcome to do so. I will bring in donuts for all of you since there was a THREE-WAY TIE on the quiz. I certainly didn't expect that! That's a good sign. E
