TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY
(While some of you were testing or otherwise absent)

• Tuesday:  Some final thoughts on Frankenstein, and the objective portion of the test
• Wednesday:  The quote responses for those those who did the main portion on Tuesday; people gone Tues. were allowed to make up the main portion in class.  SOME of those people also finished the quotes.
• ***Note--if you did NOT do the quote section on Wednesday, that will be tomorrow (Friday) in class

TODAY IN CLASS (Thursday)

Students responded to a set of 10 statements about their beliefs about aspects of society/culture/government . . . then we got an overview of where people stood.  After that, students worked in groups to really hash out what they thought and why.  KEEP these filled-out sheets to compare with what you believe after reading George Orwell's 1984.

We checked out the books.  If you were absent . . . 

1st period --get the white book if there are any left; if not, the purply pink one (I know . . . )

2nd period--get the GRAY book with additional readings

5th period--get the purply pink one

Then we read the first two paragraphs and discussed some of the details--what do we know about setting from just the opening passage?  What reference did (most of you) recognize?
