Short Stories for Review

How do you like this tactic to get everyone to check in on the blog? The only place that the complete list of short stories we have covered is available is here!

So, for Wednesday's test the sight passages could have been chosen from any of the following:

"No Great Mischief" by Alistair MacLeod
"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson
"The Destructors" by Graham Greene
"The Shining Houses" by Alice Munro
"The Rocking Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence
"Horses of the Night" by Margaret Laurence
"Miss Brill" by Katharine Mansfield

Also, there are a handful of people who still have not had their ISU novel approved by either Mr. Baty of myself. Please do so ASAP... we are about 25% of the way through the course!

Also, about half of you need a presentation date still. Check here to see if your presentation date has been assigned. If Mr. Baty and I haven't heard from you by Friday, we will assign you to a date.

On the other hand, it's nice to see so many people moving along on schedule. Keep working hard, the course will be finished before you know it. For most of you, the difference between a 70% and an 85% final (or higher!) is just a matter of some elbow grease...
