I am out sick today, 2/1/11. These are the instructions your substitute has: Students' handouts are on the front desk (student desk, facing the room). Students should each receive a packet of two George Orwell essays, "Politics and the English Language" and "Why I Write". They should also receive the handout accompanying "Why I Write." These handouts are on the front desk. Students should read "Why I Write" and then complete the handout. They should **turn in this handout by the end of class**. They then should read and carefully annotate "Politics and the English Language", finishing any reading for homework. **There will be a reading check quiz** on "Politics and the English Language" next class. ~Ms. Cohen "Politics and the English Language": [] "Why I Write": []**In the assignment we were missing pace 313 and 314 so we could not answer some of the questions.
