After a pretty smooth presentation schedule, we had a rash of absences Friday. What happened? It set us back a bit, so we will finish our presentations tomorrow--two per class. Considering all the extra time these four presentations have had, they should be pretty incredible. I can't wait.
We'll also take one of our final looks at Chopin's "The Story of an Hour". Do you understand the importance of the final line? It is of ultimate importance. If you get that on your own, you have advanced to a higher level of comprehension and analysis. Speaking of analysis, we'll do a little more with Chopin's piece once we look at that final line.
Have you read This Dark Endeavor yet? If so, get a team together for the Battle of the Book. It takes place Wednesday. The author himself will be there and possibly asking questions for the contest. We have a host of fun activities planned for the week aside from the Battle of the Book. Even if you don't participate in the BOTB, you'll still manage to have some fun, especially if you have read the book.
You might want to check out some other books by Kenneth Oppel. One of my favorites is Airborn. Here's a link to some of his others. Some cool stuff.
Have a great day. Read a little Oppel. See you tomorrow.
