Welcome to 4th Quarter - Cycle 22 - Freshman

Soon, we'll be finishing The Woman Warrior, revisiting our essential questions, completing the 1001 Flat World Writing Project, and switching gears for some Shakespeare.

A Few Important Changes
1. Label all your posts with cycle number. And add a side bar element for "labels."
2. A few weeks ago, I set up a blog reading/Flat World checking schedule. But it was too confusing for me. So the new plan is that I'll read your blogs/story revisions at the end of each cycle. So your posts need to be completed each cycle by F-day midnight.
3. Continue to pay attention to the quality of your blogging, feedback, and creative writing.

In Class:
Day 1 - "At The Western Palace" quiz, silent reading time
HW: Critical response to passage on blog

Day 3 - Flat World work, podcast story
