Monday, 10/10: Outside Reading
* Vocabulary checked on our binder check day.
* One change. I had assumed our days were of the same length next week, but Wednesday is too short to accommodate an in-class essay. So, we'll do it on Thursday.
* Work on your Journal 12 (apologies, I had put journal 11; please change the number)
HW: Journal 12: Find support for a major theme in your outside reading to compare with these works: _That Hideous Strength_, _Beowulf_, and _The Knight's Tale_. You need to have one comparison done for Tuesday. You will work through the others in class on Tuesday.
