Homework this weekend is simple, albeit somewhat annoying — Three (3) more literary outlines (due in class on Monday — you may have class time on Monday to complete and print them out).  

Another lit outline tonight. Please have it already printed out and ready to turn in as soon as you come to class. Remember: when you arrive in class tomorrow I will likely not be here at school, but will be arriving soon. Your job is to find a place to sit and pick up a…

Your job for tonight is to write out another literary outline. Please have it ready to submit when you arrive in class tomorrow. There will be no classtime to devote to finishing it.
