Agenda, January 31

• I'm sorry I can't be here with you today. If you need me, send me an email. 
• Due Monday: The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, pp. 226-243 and 244-255 and 256-274. Spoiler alert: The book has a happy ending, but there is still some tension left. If you are reading and it rubs a raw never, skip the letter and move on.
• Due Eventually: Optional revision of your narrative. Highlight your changes on the new draft. Paper clip new draft on top of old.
• Due Monday: Return unrevised narratives to your portfolio. 
• Due February 10: Synthesis Prompt 1, 2 or 3, or Prompt 4
• We will resume class as normally as possible on Monday. This doesn't mean we'll be well. This means that routine is healthy and helpful.

Today's Agenda

1. If you are able to work - work. Don't be surprised if it's difficult to sustain concentration.
2. If you need to work - work.
3. If you are not able to work, do what you need to do to care for yourself.
