Happy last Monday of September! Here's what we'll do in class today:

• Notes: You'll take notes as we discuss Thesis Statements, focusing on formulating arguable claims versus simple statements of fact. 
• You'll write a thesis statement about either Shane or The Old Man and the Sea and share it in class. We'll all discuss each claim and classify each as an arguable claim or a statement of fact.
• We'll read and discuss Chapter 8 of Shane. (Rdg. Quiz: Ch. 8-11 Tomorrow)
• You'll have WORK TIME for the following: 
• Rdg. Quiz: Ch. 4-7.
