Jump Off (flex time)
--Turn in your short story by placing it in the black basket on the front table.
--Pick up the "'The Masque of the Red Death' Assessment" from the front table.  Complete the assessment quietly and independently back at your desk.  I'll be honest--I have no idea how long it will take you to finish.  I'll give you as much time as you need, though.  Good luck!
--When you finish taking the assessment, come up to the front table and...
  • place your assessment in the black basket
  • pick up a copy of a short story written by one of your peers
  • pick up a copy of the "Short Story Writing Assignment #1--Partner Feedback for Moving Forward" document
    S. the C. (share with approximately 10 mins. remaining)
