Blues:
Today's class was fantastic. You've proven
beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are more than capable of handling
the responsibilities of speaking and listening in an academic setting
actively and with courtesy. I'm impressed, and I can't wait to brag to
my colleagues at our Monday meeting.
That being said, a scholar's work is never done. This weekend you are to read and annotate chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a whopper, so enjoy it. While you read/annotate, please keep today's talking points in mind:
- Look for quotes that are "worth talking about."
- Ask yourself, "Why would Harper Lee include this chapter?"
-
Ask yourself, "Are there any patterns or repeated
ideas/themes/feelings/questions raised in this chapter that were
introduced before?"
On Monday, after we discuss the
text, we will start reading the award-winning film adaptation of Harper
Lee's work. So if you've never read a movie before, get ready to live.
Enjoy your weekend. We'll talk on Monday.
Work hard: luck means nothing.
- AC
