Monday 11/23/15: Homework

Block E:
1. Continue working on your version of "Happy Endings" by Margaret Atwood. Your completed draft is due when we return from the holiday weekend.

Block F:

Prepare for your book club meeting tomorrow, using the instructions I gave you for version 2.0.
We will also resume student-led discussions, so be sure to arrive prepared.

Block G:
Tonight, please respond to the following prompt in a well-supported and thoughtful paragraph. Your paragraph should have a CLAIM, EVIDENCE, AND REASONING.

In Chapter 16 of “The Body,” you read Gordie’s story from “The Revenge of Lard Ass Hogan.” The intertext (or story within a story) obviously provides some comic relief after the boys’ near-death experience on the trestle. However, there is more to the story.  What other function does the story serve in the novella? What does it reveal to us about the boys, their relationship, their desires, and their place in the world? Think deeply about what King’s purposes are for including the story at this moment  in the text. Respond in a well-written paragraph.
