Good News - The "Cassie Essay" is NOW due on Monday, June 3rd. This will include your vomit, outline and your essay. You MUST have textual evidence supporting the idea that Cassie was forced to grow-up.

In addition, we will have a quiz tomorrow on "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." This quiz will consist of 20-30 multiple choice questions, and 3-4 short answers. Essentially, I want to know if you've been paying attention. Recently, class participation has been waxing and waning. Is this due to the low pressure and heavy rains?
