Post date: Jan 22, 2017 9:33:41 PM

Here's a quick overview of the coming week:

• • We will start off the week with a diagnostic test over proofreading and editing skills. Sorry.

  • We will spend the beginning of the week focused on Eudora Welty's short story "A Worn Path," focusing especially on how it fits the archetype of the Hero's Journey. Here are some resources related to that:
