This has been a 6 week project. Over these 6 weeks, we have read and written about the __Scarlet Letter__, __Antigone__, and __Julius Caesar__. They have learned the traits of writing and how to implement them when writing about literature. Also, they have been working in community wikis in order to receive feedback before submitting their essays into their ePortfolios. All students will be expected to submit their writing into the ePortfolio by the end of the day. **
