Task 1:  Welcome Back!  When you arrive to class, please upload your reading notes to the appropriate dropbox in Schoology.  I'll spend the first few minutes of class returning your work and explain what you can do to improve your thesis writing skills.  Then, we'll talk about your "Thesis, Evidence, Analysis" work from last week.
