Assignment #1:

After reading Bierce's story, students should develop a double-entry journal with the text on the left side. On the right side, students should write questions about the speaker's relationship with the setting(s) of the story. Then, they should prepare their initial responses to those questions using textual evidence. Double-entry journals should be used to prepare for a Socratic Seminar on the text. Double-entry journals are due October 14th by midnight on Google Classroom.
