Today after turning in your homework from Friday, we discussed the story "Day of the Butterfly" and its key themes regarding social systems, identity, friendship, and guilt. We also checked out a map of Ontario, where Alice Munro is from and where the story takes place, and discussed the influence of geographic location on literature and experience. We also viewed a video clip from a documentary that explores Americans' perceptions of Canadians and vice versa, and then we discussed some of the differences and similarities that were explored in the video. No homework tonight - tomorrow, we will be wrapping up Canada and reading some selections from Mexico. Don't forget to fill in your summary charts...
