Feb+16+and+19



Hi kids, as promised, I am not here today. Be good! Here's the plan:


 * SSR--20 minutes or so.
 * QUIZ-15 minutes or so--see questions above. Sub will tell you who is doing which questions. My advice: know ALL the answers.
 * GROUP DISCUSSIONS/RESPONSES--30 minutes: Sub will give you a hand-out for this. All team leaders will be given a handout to explain to the rest of their group. (if a leader is absent, please choose another responsible person to lead the group.) Leaders: We're counting on you!


 * F block:** Team discussion leaders: Zoheb, Alex, Olivia, and Ariyana
 * H block:** Team discussion leaders: Ishita, Abby, Nikhil, Zoe
 * B block:** Team discussion leaders: Tasnim, Aksel, Erik, Andrea


 * Brainstorming for essay!-15-20 minutes--This is a graded assignment! I will ask the sub to keep track of who's working and who's being a vegetable (Mildred)! I'll be checking this next class, and expect to see lots of good ideas as I conference with you individually. What I want you to do:
 * 1) Create a list of ideas you might be able to write about. You should have as many ideas as come to mind. Whatever you think of, write it down in this list! Some examples: brainwashing, dystopias, Montag as hero/villain, obsesssion with technology, etc.
 * 2) After you have run out of ideas, go back and highlight those you like the best. Highlight more than ONE!
 * 3) Using any technique you like, add ideas to your highlighted topics: ex: if you chose brainwashing you might have thought bubbles that connect to it which say "Mildred/Mrs. Phelps and Bowles"---"love TV more than people"---Parlor Walls"---entertainment consumes all. You know how to do this. I expect you to walk me through your thought patterns as we meet next class!
