 In-class essay:  In the following attachment, you will find a variety of essay questions.  You will be comparing or contrasting one of the stories read as a class to the "group story" you were assigned.  On Mon/Tues we will be working on the outline and on Wed/Thurs we will be writing the essay in class.  Make sure to bring your outline to class. If you are missing one of these days due to a field trip, it is your responsibility to see me to make-up the essay THIS WEEK.

See post below with the Paul's Case questions.  I tweeted the link to the story because it's kind of hard to find on-line. You should be following  me on twitter! I'll post the link here, but it may be removed due to copyrite! Look to the Right of Webpage and it says "Story: Paul's Case" That will take you to it.

Have your chart done with the 3 traits for contrast and start on your essay outline/essay map.  We will have time in class Thursday to work complete the outline and rough copy.  

If you do not have a copy of the hand out you will have to create your own! We wrote down the characters from Macbeth to be contrasted.  Came up with one or two ways they are similar and then focussed on the contrasts.  

Have three to four traits to contrast and the supporting evidence to go along with it. Example: Lady Macbeth and Macbeth differ in their level of confidence.
