Endings & Ha Jin

Today you will continue learning about endings for short stories, participate in an exercise, and also have time to continue and/or complete your short story drafts.

Mr. Bodensteiner has a new blog for you to visit. Please check it out at craftysota.blogspot.com. While he is teaching the class, please refer to his blog for details about deadlines, class material, and so on.

After Mr. Bodensteiner's instruction, please continue working on your stories. These are due today, but if you do not finish your draft, please complete for homework and turn in late Thursday.

HOMEWORK: Complete your story draft (if you have not already done so), and read "Saboteur" by Ha Jin and complete the five questions for the story. (see Mr. Bodensteiner's blog for more details).

Some links to help you with the story: Ha Jin biography & The Cultural Revolution and The Cultural Revolution in China
