Period 9 will not meet today due to the late start. Those students who need to turn in their themes should do so to me in room 330. In the event I am not in the office at the time, kindly leave your paper on my desk chair (not the desk). 3rd period will begin reading chapter 25 today, and should have finished that chapter by class on Tuesday.
HW: By class on Tuesday, we will only have the "Epilogue" left to read, which we will look at during class. I will collect your copy of the novel to grade annotation on Friday.
