HOOKED ON BOOKS
Jump Off
--Take out your copy of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" (unless you left the story with me last class, in which case I'll return it to you!). I will be around to return your copies of the "Romeo and Juliet Unit--'The Cask of Amontillado"--Purposeful/Close Reading Assessment Questions" document.
--Spend the first few minutes of the next chunk of class looking through the purposeful/close reading document, putting a star next to the one question that you would like me to complete for you as a model. (Note: You must select from #1-7--I refuse to do #8 or #9! :))

Your improved writing piece must be typed in proper MLA format and highlighted as per the Cumulative Writing Portfolio protocol.
