What You're Supposed to Be Doing

Here's a quick summation of your tasks while I'm away:

• Write a short autobiography and bring it to class, ready to read, on Monday, Aug 25.
• Start drafting your Place essay. Two of you will submit conference drafts at the end of 8th period on Monday, Aug 25. Do the best you can. Don't worry. Just write. You'll have half the period on Monday to work on it, but don't wait until then to start.
• Read these essays. We'll talk about them on Wednesday, Aug 27.

I'll slap up a few blog posts while I'm in Vermont, just so you know I haven't fled the country. It's the least I can do, really...
