Natalie has finished her book, To Kill a Mockingbird, and is working on her essay. She asked to read Huckleberry Finn. I showed her the book and explained the dialects. She began to read and then decided to read Tom Sawyer first -- a good idea that she came to herself. I supplied ten pages from college composition one with basic strategies for writing introductory and concluding paragraphs, as well as clear instructions on body paragraphs and what constitutes evidence. She will prepare for a test on this material in the next week or two. She also has it to refer to in writing her remaining essays in all classes here.
