August 21/22

1. Reading time 

*8B: Quiz on exam structure

2. Poem of the day 

3. Read the Q2 prompt and prepare a thesis on a sticky note. 

4. In your small group, write your thesis on the Google Slide. (Don't label it with your group's name.)  

5. Intro to Reader's Response  

Choose a short story. 

Formulate a thesis based on that short story and addressing the prompt of your choice.

You might want to outline your essay with a thesis, topic sentences, and evidence, but all I'm requiring for now is a thesis statement.
