WE FINISH WRITING CONFERENCES this week. Remember, after our meeting, you have ONE week to finish your revision. Next week, we will spend some time in the library, identifying one short story, one poem, and one artwork by a well-known, American writer/artist. Your final draft of the multi-genre research paper will incorporate these works into your theme. This week we will continue our reading of The Awakening, and we will begin studying the art work of Mary Cassatt, a contemporary of Chopin's.
