A.  Write a paragraph or two that summarizes the information you read. Include the URL for each site you visited.
B. Then, write two or three paragraphs and relate that information to John's treatment of the narrator in "The Yellow Wallpaper." Be sure to answer: Is this a "haunted house", or was the narrator driven mad by the cure? (50 points) Post in Canvas.

Let's generate topics at your table. Send one person to the board as a scribe for your group.
 
We will work on the graphic organizer in class. Your homework will depend on how far we get. It will be posted after class.
In class, we worked on a dictionary definition, classmate definitions, and mentioned the word in literature. We will continue our work on Thursday.
