Class Reminders for Week of May 19

Remember to submit your paper to Turnitin.com as soon as possible (preferably when you print it out to turn it in).

Here is a link to software that formats your paper in MLA style. It says it's free, but check it out first.

And no more printing at Westport before class! There are gremlins in the machines!

Review for the test next week. Check out this list of review topics.

Be sure to bring your literature book and read the stories carefully (don't worry about it if you don't understand them yet). Make notes as you go.

See you next week.

They're Talking about "The Necklace" on NPR

Since most of you loved "The Necklace" I thought I'd post a link to a current an NPR story about it. The author who wrote the piece loves the language of the story and its insight into human nature.

See how college edjamacated you are now? You know the story and can appreciate the discussion.
