  • Copy one that you agree with into your notebook and explain why you agree with it

• Select one comment to respond to and write your response to it on the large post-it provided and post to the What is Literature for? Poster.
  

Exit Task:  Copy and paste the short story bracket into your journal and mark it with a tab, so you can keep track of the stories we read on Tuesdays in order to determine your favorite from this semester.
