HW
--Make sure that you are reviewing your notes (e.g., Key Facts, Alexandre Dumas notes, etc.), as I may "check in" on your knowledge and ask you to apply said knowledge at any time.
--While reading pages 63-93, work on character posters (if any of your characters "show up" in this section of the reading) and complete Post-its (focus especially on flagging seemingly important passages).
--If you have not already done so, RE-READ your "Character Motivation" piece, looking specifically for the errors with which we've dealt this year (e.g., circle all FANBOYS words--look for Subject/Verb combinations--add or subtract commas accordingly).
