Class today: November 4th

1. Thesis/claim plus outline for Gatsby paper are due today.

2. Today we are going to work with recognizing the difference between Active and Passive voice.
In our papers, we are often using passive voice when active voice would be more effective.
The first two links explain the difference between the voices.  The third asks you to change active voice to passive. The fourth will direct you to revise passive to active voice.
