NOTE:  We try to have our novel discussions each and every Friday; however, due to schedule and weather intrusions sometimes we lose out on class time. You will be responsible for having your work done and then turned in the following Monday. On Fridays, I expect each student to have read their assignment and be prepared to discuss the reading. I build my Fridays around your discussions. If you do not discuss then I am forced to provide you with quizzes to asses your understanding.
