Here's what we did in class today:
1- Met in book groups. If you were absent, you need to print off the following discussion questions and complete them on your own. I will be grading these for quality.

2. We had a mini-lesson on writing about literature in the present tense. You are accountable for this information whether you were here or not. It is your responsibility to print off the handouts, read through them, comprehend them, and change your writing ways :) See two hand outs below.

Homework: Follow these steps. 
1- Go to your computer and pull up your saved literary analysis on Lord of the Flies. If you don't have this saved, you will have to come to class, and get your copy from the bin.
2. Choose one paragraph that Mrs. Jaynes didn't edit for you. Copy and paste this paragraph onto a new word document. Label this paragraph "OLD PARAGRAPH"
3. Copy and paste this paragraph again and label it "NEW PARAGRAPH"
4. Go through "new paragraph" and change any past tense verbs to present tense verbs (when applicable). Also take out any helping verbs such as is, am, are, be, were, had, has, etc.
5. Either use your computer to underline any changed verbs OR print off paper and go through with pen or highlighter and underline words you changed.
