Hi Everyone,

This week we will once again be focussed on our Textual Analysis Essays.

• Office Hours:  You can sign up HERE to meet with me on Monday.  Don’t forget to specify whether you will be meeting with me in person or via Zoom.  Please be sure that you have updated your draft since our class on Wednesday and that your revised draft is in our shared drafts folder.  You are welcome to sign up individually or as a Writing Group for these office hours.  If you are coming with your Writing Group, feel free to sign up for two back-to-back appointments.
• Feedback:  If you aren’t able to meet with me on Monday, but still want feedback on your draft, I am happy to communicate with you via email over the weekend.  Simply send me an email with any questions or concerns you have and attach your draft.
• Wednesday’s class:  Please bring a printed out draft of your essay with you to class on Wednesday, November 3rd.
• Textual Analysis Due:  As you know, your Textual Analysis Essay is due on Friday, November 5th.   You will submit it by placing it in the same Google Docs folder you used to submit your Literacy Narrative.  Your essay should have an inviting title that relates in some way to your topic, but the file you submit should have a name that includes your first and last name plus the words “Textual Analysis.”
• Recommendation Feedback – A gentle reminder that your feedback on your peers’ Recommendation posts should be shared on the blog by today, Friday, October 29th.
• Happy Halloween to those of. you who celebrated, and don’t forget that Tuesday is Election Day.  Happy voting if you are a registered voter in New York!
