HW:
1. If I haven't conferenced with you yet on your reading journal, keep bringing it to class; conferences will continue next week.

2. If you didn't have time to pick your favorite memoir piece and label it "READ THIS ONE," please do so by Monday. If you want to conference on the rough draft of your memoir, sign up for a conference by clicking HERE. If you'd prefer written feedback, then you do not need a conference.
