Today, you worked on collecting quotations from the short stories. In small groups, you addressed the central themes and characterization from two of the semester's stories (your choice). Once you talked about these essential elements, you then divvied up pages and started looking for quotes in answer to the question, "Which quotes reveal something essential about the character/theme?"
You can find the quotes on the wikispace. Because of a server crash on wikispace's end this morning, we have a not particularly attractive product, but it gets the job done, and has a downloadable component that you can add to for your own benefit.
I strongly suggest you make use of the wikispace to share ideas, notes, hold discussions, etc. The power of the collective -- when it works in concert with everyone pulling his/her weight -- is extraordinary. USE IT!
