You spent some class time today pondering this question: what would you like the world to remember of your present self by virtue of your Grad Write-Up? Moreover, what would you like to remember of yourself? Even moreover :) , what is the purpose of a Grad Write-Up? Hmm. Deep thoughts, people. What essential truth does your 17-year-old self wish to leave in perpetuity to the world; that's right it lasts forever ... This is weighty stuff.
Slighty less importantly, you completed some journal responses for Richard Rodriguez's essay, and we had a productive class discussion about his experience and the general experience of learning English as a second language. Thank you for your contributions.
A compliment: Good journals of late - seriously the marks are way too high! Also the vocab quizzes were terrific - are you people getting smarter? Is that possible? I will have to renew my efforts to challenge you!
Homework: Read Amy Tan's Mother Tongue, page 542. I didn't forget the vocab, but we'll wait until next week.
Adios!
