Homework for tomorrow is to bring a completed essay with IPS and outline for the peer review. Make sure you read the Hacker sections outlined yesterday. There is an analytical student essay there, we read it in class today (Big Box Stores). There is alsoa model of an outline there as well.

We completed the in-text citation handout in all the classes as well. We forgot to turn over the handout in the 8-8:50 and 10-10:50 class. Complete number 10. We will review the Hacker exercise assignment Monday tomorrow as well.

Thursday, we will meet in our classrooms: A-202 and D-205 to share excepts from Essay 1. I also want students to prepare a short reflection on how Mrs. Rosa Parks's life has influenced you to "rebel" or question certain social, political, educational or economic paradigms or structures.
