FRIDAY IN CLASS
It was a short day, of course.  We reviewed the basic information found on most of the group content charts of the historical introduction to the first unit of the textbook:  "The New Land--Literature before 1750."  We will continue to work with this information as a foundation for beginning with the actual literary or foundation document texts this week.

FOR MONDAY
Time for serious review for Tuesday's short fiction test.
