Modern Lit. - Monday, December 1, 2008
Welcome back from break - I hope you all had a great few days off! The next three weeks are going to be VERY BUSY, so be prepared to work hard and do a lot of reading. Over break, you needed to read "How to Tell a True War Story" in The Things They Carried. I completely forgot to post the discussion questions last week (sorry!), but that's alright, since we tackled them in class today. Today, the class got into four groups. Each group was given a set of discussion questions. You went over them in your groups, recorded your responses, and also found relevant quotes to support your answers. After everyone was done, we went around to each group and shared your answers. See the discussion questions by clicking the link below. If you were absent, please choose a set of discussion questions, write down your responses, and choose one quote from the text that you feel best embodies the questions and your responses. Turn in to me as soon as you return, as this was a graded assignment, and also some of these questions will appear on a future quiz. For homework, please read "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," pages 89-116, by block day.
Welcome students, parents, educators, and friends. I am an English teacher at Mountain Range High School in Westminster, Colorado and am extremely fortunate to be a part of a such a wonderful school. Go Mustangs! I can be reached via email at megan.l.alvarez@adams12.org
