[For your MOM: gratitude]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Some holidays are worth celebrating every day. Feeling grateful makes
us happier, healthier, and more productive, so why not celebrate
Thanksgiving today? Think of something/someone for whom you are truly
grateful, and use today's journal time to give thanks.
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Fahrenheit 451
3. For the win-- er, I mean, break, please post the following before we return 11/26:
POSTS:
1. Summarize what we have read so far (title: F451 SUMMARY PART I). Note: doing this well will require no less than three paragraphs.
2. Make (a minimum of three) connections between what we've read in the play and your own lived experience of modern America. Think about the people/characters, places, events, cultures, politics, and values we've discussed. (title: F451 & ME)
3. Imagine a scenario in which the President of the United States outlaws reading. (If you think this is far-fetched, ask yourself where the current president gets his information-- is it from reading or watching screens?) Write a letter on behalf of the American people defending the right to read. (title: THE RIGHT TO READ)
ALSO:
It's time to take our classroom community/conversation online. Please visit at least three of your classmates' blogs and comment to at least one of their posts. (That means we should be able to see three of your comments.) If you visit a blog with lots of comments, see if you can find one that has less and start the conversation. It's always nice to receive comments :)
