In class discussion and assignments for tonight:

--All of the papers I graded, some feedback:
1-Still screwing up the its/their. We will discuss this further.
2-NAMES! It really hinders your ability to get good grades if you misspell names … ESPECIALLY OF YOUR CLASSMATES! If you do not get names correct, it undermines the validity of your story.
3-QUOTES! As far as the in-class assignments go, it was remarkable how consistent the quotes were from story to story. THIS IS A GOOD THING.

--In-class writing assignments (2). TBA. They will be very similar to last week.
