Today was a bit of a downer, as I broke a lot of bad news to the class about the potential tragedies that can befall the average Joe or Jane (including Gallagher.) We continued our notes on the emerging themes and ironies and characterization in The Catcher in the Rye. Then, to lighten the mood, you engaged in some fun cooperative learning and some high-level artistic renderings of such helpful terms as ostracized, pacifist, exhibitionist, and halitosis. For example, one might choose to ostracize an exhibitionist pacifist who suffers from extreme halitosis. Lovely artwork, people! Now I really must go brush and floss.
Homework: Read to page 104 for Monday. Reading quiz, d'ya think? Write an articulate and thorough paragraph in response to the following: Is education overall a positive or negative influence in your life? Explain.
Note: the Bonus Buck offering has now expired. Nice work Megan and Norma!
