Are we supposed to do this for grapes of wrath or can it be on machinal/great gatsby?
Good question. It can be on any reading (including Frost).
I think you mentioned this in class, but how and to where are we supposed to submit our presubmissions?
I've created a slot in Turnitin.com.
The course ID is 2589876 and the password is closereading.
If you have a problem uploading it to the website, you can bring me a printout or e-mail me the text, but I plan to give you my feedback through Turnitin.com.
