Due 10/5: The Minister’s Black Veil by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Read and annotate. Remember, a point of focus for this is annotating. What do we annotate and why. Also, research and take notes on our author. Know that when I collect binders, I expect to see the author notes in your binders (notes section).
