BOI RLs (amended daily)

While we are studying "The Bastard of Istanbul," each student is required to respond a prompt given in class each day, using relevant quotations. In addition, each student should take notes on the discussion that ensues. The length of your BOI RL, which includes your response to the prompt and discussion notes, is determined by your curriculum level: C2: 1 page, C1: 1 page, H: 2 pages. If you are absent from class, you are responsible for writing a response to the prompt that meets the length requirement. Entries will be collected randomly or without notice, so please have all of them with you at all times.
