Short Stories and Journal Responses continued. We will study the following stories:

Tentative due date for unit portfolio Monday, May 10th
Instructions for short story journal responses:
Your response does not need to be artistic, though I certainly encourage creativity.
Your responses should, however, demonstrate originality of thought. I am not looking for a summarization of these stories; I am looking for an interpretation of these stories or an interpretation of some aspect of these stories. The interpretive medium you choose is at your discretion. However, if you choose a creative medium, you must provide written justification for why you have chosen to represent your work in this way. Because yours will be a subjective response, a piece of artwork, for example, alone, cannot support your interpretation. Your intention needs to be apparent to me, the objective observer.
As always, there is usually information on the internet which will further explain these stories. I recommend "enotes". Please feel free to use my name and password to access the information provided by this site - user name: tessmwood password: surinder.
I will allow you to omit two responses from your final portfolio. However, You will be given special consideration for submitting responses for all the assigned work.
