1. Research and take notes on Joyce Carol Oates (half a page). These notes should be written in the notes section of your binder. As you are researching Oates, consider what details would be critical to understanding/appreciating her writing. Note those details.
2. Read and annotate Joyce Carol Oates’ Where are you Going, Where have you Been? (click the link for a copy of the short story). Review the annotating expectations in the course syllabus. Focus your annotations on thematic observations. I am very interested in what you annotate and why you annotated it!

HW10 due 9/11: In-Class Writing Assignment
September 9, 2014 By
1. You will have an in-class writing assessment on The Circle this Thursday. You will be given three questions to which you are to respond to each in proper paragraph form, for a total of three independent paragraphs. If you have read the text, you should be successful! Use the next couple of days to review the novel. When grading the paragraphs, I am interested in both your control of paragraph organization and your control of the text.
2. Print out the following two short stories:
Where are You Going, Where have You Been?
A Rose for Emily
3. By the end of the week, I expect you to have all supplies in place.
4. Remember, keep your binder ORGANIZED. You should have four sections: Notes, Handouts, Reading Responses, Vocabulary
