Lest I Forget
No, this is not a post about Remembrance Day, although in today's class we listened to a podcast about The Things They Carried and the impacts of war and the memories of war that remain when a soldier returns home. Look, there's Tim O'Brien now! My title is actually self-referential - I don't want to forget the blog again.
- We reviewed the in-class you did on Huxley / Orwell / Postman. I gave pointers and feedback in preparation for next day's in-class writing.
- You then signed out copies of The Things They Carried.
- I also went over the idea of a syllogism today. The term came up on the sample multiple choice I gave last week - check out the link because it's worth reviewing.
Homework: I assigned page 1-26 for homework, and you need to read the following handouts: Tips on Reading Linked Short Fiction; The Intro; About the Author.
