Today we had 3 Allusions presentations.
Then we looked at a powerpoint presentation on Censorship, and read an article by Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist, on how censorship works. We discussed the connections we noticed between the article and the novel. If you were absent, read through the powerpoint, and read the article, looking for connections to the novel. Then, at table groups, you worked on a passage from chapter 5 or chapter 6, doing a close reading and annotation, and working on planning a mini commentary on the passage (5 minutes.) On Wednesday we will have volunteers do practice commentaries on the passages. HW: Read chapter 7 for Thursday. Today we had FOAs and a reading quiz on chapter 5. If you missed today's quiz because you are absent, you will need to take a make up quiz. Contact me to arrange a time to make it up. Your make up quiz will not be on Chapter 5, but on whatever chapter is due closest to the make up date.
HW: Read Chapter 6 for Block day. Period 4:
