Today we worked on connecting two different pieces of writing. We took "Harrison Bergeron" and a collection of quotes and used the short story to validate the quote. We also analyzed the writing to see what needs to be done to make it as strong as possible.
We made it further in the honors classes so I passed out "The Pedestrian" to those three classes. This weekend you should read and annotate (notes in the margins!) the short story. Here's a link in case you were absent. Be ready to discuss this story on Monday. Be thinking of how the story could be a satire. Also consider the different meanings of the title. Think beyond the obvious.
QBTs start Monday. You need your typed outline on Monday and you need to be ready to present. Practice this weekend. Then practice some more. Can't wait to hear about your books.
Until next time...
