Okay, so we didn't get into the utopia discussion like I hoped we would, but tomorrow we'll be hitting it pretty heavy. Use tonight wisely and come up with a good definition of utopia. You'll impress your group tomorrow. You'll also need to come up with two examples of the definition you agree upon. These examples can come from film, books, real life, your imagination, etc. We'll look at some general accepted utopian claims and analyze their veracity before learning a little about Thomas Moor and the role he played in developing the utopian ideal. You'll be receiving a book this week too. I'm excited. I hope you are!
By the way, thanks for reading this tonight. Since you're here I'll let you in on a little secret: quiz tomorrow over some of the Tool Time material. I'm going to ask you to come up with two original sentences that show the two different ways we discussed using a semi-colon. Here's the kicker: you must include a truly unique allusion in each one as well. You'll have less than five minutes to come up with the two sentences, make sure they are correctly punctuated, and make sure they each include a unique allusion.
Here are a list of words you should know well after four days of class:
independent clause
conjunctive adverb
coordinating conjunction
amplification
allusion
semi-colon
See you soon.
