It was so good to be back with you this week, and I applaud your thinking and passion about the BIG IDEAS that Shelly's work brings to us. I am out today (Wed. 11/16) but will return tomorrow. Please use the class time today to:
Majority of Class: Get and receive feedback on your essay outlines from as many colleagues as you can manage. Try to be helpful to each other regards possible "holes" in logic or times when textual evidence is not truly supportive of thesis. Remember that we are answering specific prompt questions with specific ideas and information as we analyze the text. What the author "may have done differently" or how your own view differs from hers is not the point of this kind of essay. The prompts and process of this assignment are included in this document: Frank Writes, Quizzes and Essay.
Medea Group: Please use your time today to plan your presentation and discuss our "Mad (?) Medea" in the context of the Greek Tragedy. Here is another link to that process/assignment: Medea Presentation. Themes regarding the proper roles of parents from Frankie cross over nicely to this piece.
I look forward to your drafts/presentation, and am working on getting all of your glossary entries and other assignments back to you by tomorrow and/or Friday. Scholar On!
