SENIORS: In your notebook, do another stream-of-consciousness freewrite for 10 minutes straight.  Title it "What's On My Mind #2."  Remember, the goal is to keep writing without stopping.  Let your thoughts guide your pen; it doesn't matter if the thoughts don't connect with each other.  Also, we continued the partner work on your short story, concentrating on Exposition and Inciting Incident. 
     I will be doing a notebook check this Thursday, so make sure you bring your notebook with you every day; it's a good habit to get into for this class.

SOPHOMORES: We began reading "The Interlopers," focusing on how we learn about characters in a story.  If you were absent, please see me for a copy of the story.
