I just read some great comments by the lovely Sophie and Nicole - Orwell's language is wonderful, don't you think? If he were your English teacher, you certainly would want to proof and edit your work. He obviously didn't suffer fools gladly (I really like that expression along with "You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things" from Julius Caesar).
Anyway, a few quick thoughts before I am rendered incommunicado by the job action. For Thursday, as mentioned in the previous post, you need to bring your multiple choice questions - all ten of them - to class. You will also need the written answers with explanations. The plan is you will test some other students. Of course, you will test each other only after I test all of you with the logical fallacies quiz - must make that up this weekend! Finally, I hope to give out the movie assignment for Spring Break. Yes, I am asking you to watch a movie for homework. Could this class get any better - no need to actually answer that question! :)
Have a great 5 days away from school, but remember, you can always keep learning. Read a book!
Yes, I guess for fun and excitement on a Saturday night, I write the blog for my students - not sure if that reflects well upon me or not. I'd love to report that I am off to some fabulous soiree, or a late dinner at an exclusive restaurant, or to the opera, or the theater (said with appropriately snooty English accent), but unless something good is on the tube, I'm just off to sleep. Oh well - have fun yourselves ... or study for the AP exam - also fun!
See you Thursday!
