English 9 - Hello!  We continued the research process today, with you either taking or making notes about the topic you selected.  Tomorrow, you'll start to reorganize that information into a different graphic organizer - one for a five-paragraph essay with a thesis.  You'll then be able to tell if you need a little more research to give your essay some punch.  If you need to, please conduct more research at home, taking or making notes as you go. English 122 - Good day!  Your Article of the Week is due tomorrow, and you'll be writing a test on the frontloading material you provided each other for Oedipus.  Please read through your notes.  From there, we'll fill in any gaps...then start reading!
