**************
We:
* wrote a reflection about the C/CR: turned assignment in, via the Classroom (or iPad pic of a paper version)
* quick discussion about the story structure assessment (and its graduation standards)
* starting to analyze "America and I," using our "should know 'em" literary terms
* made sure that everyone understands how to improve writing, using the rubric and code feedback I've given
* made sure that I can get to everyone, via email, this weekend - for missing work and/or clarifications about work improvements, etc.

We had a review/quiz on the literary terms that we covered in class last Thursday (*). Those scores were entered, only if students scored higher than 7/8.
We then went over definitions and examples of the other literary terms for this story structure study, surrounding Activity 1.5 (+).
