We heard some great presentations today! Nice job to those of you who went first today! Continue to work on your presentations and "Stranger" essays.
Block A:
Continue to work on developing your independent project. I'll ask you to share your progress tomorrow.
Block B:
- Begin reading the stories assigned in The Things They Carried. Keep your vocabulary glossary by your side as you get used to the language and military slang.
- Write your "The Things I Carry" response, using the model essay I gave you today. Bring your work in on Tuesday.
Block C:
- Today we learned about F. Scott Fitzgerald's biography--which is a lot like Gatsby's life, strangely.
- Tonight, I would like you to watch the Crash Course video from John Green attached here. When you are finished watching it, please write a PRECIS, following the directions on the hand-out I gave you in class today. Read the directions carefully, and remember that a PRECIS should be written in your own words. Your precis is due on MONDAY!
