Today we briefly discussed the reading from the last few days and will continue to do so for the rest of the week. We spent most of the time discussing the reading questions from "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," which we didn't really get a chance to go over much. See the discussion questions by scrolling down to the Friday, Dec. 5 post and clicking on the link (make sure you are familiar with these as they might appear on your next quiz!) The rest of the period was spent discussing cultural revolution and watching the video "1968," which we will finish on Tuesday. We are going to talk a bit about what was happening in America during the Vietnam War, and what affect these events had on our history and our collective consciousness as a society. I asked you to keep in mind the essential questions that we are examining for this unit as you watch the video. You also need to answer some video questions, so if you were absent, you need to make an appointment with me to view it. Download the questions by clicking the link below. For homework tonight, please read pages 155-178. PLEASE NOTE: There has been a change to the calendar/schedule. The song/sonwriter profile assignment has been removed and will not be assigned. We don't have time! =( Just make sure you are caught up with your reading, as you will have a quiz on Friday that will cover up to page 218.
