Freshmen - Today we had a lively class discussion on the reading from the last few days, along with some notes, which was followed by some in class reading time. By Tuesday, please get through Chapter 8.
Juniors - Today you turned in your college essays and completed a unit reflection and self assessment. We also read a review of our next novel, The Beach by Alex Gardner, which is my favorite book for this course (you're going to love it!) and also watched a brief video clip about backpacking in Thailand. Read the review by clicking here, and view the video clip by clicking here. The video is a spoken word poem, set to music, that explores some similar themes about travel that we will be dealing with in the coming weeks (pay attention to when he mentions that Thailand is his "Never Neverland" and when he asks about whether it was "just a moment or a month.") A traveler posted it to the Lonely Planet website, one of my favorite resources for all things travel. Check it out.
Enjoy the long weekend, folks!!
