Today we continued reading The Fire Next Time. I encouraged students to finish the essay by tomorrow so we can practice the midterm essay. I have postponed the lesson on argument until after the break. I am not assigning homework. We will return and read The Color Purple and prepare the research essay during the month of April. We will start Letters from Mississippi toward the end of April. If we have time, we'll read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

Oh, I am enjoying reading your Walker essays!
