1. Warming up with three good things
2. Sharing with you a trick I played on my unsuspecting Honors American Lit class back in the day and playing a round of "Yes, No, Maybe"
Follow-up questions:
Think about these “new requirements.” What
common denominator(s) do these requirements share?
What relationship do they create
between the government (in this case, the administration) and the individual
(the student)?
Where did you draw the line for yourself, and why?
3. Engaging in high-velocity, highly opinionated writing using some of Thoreau's and Martin Luther King's statements from their time in jail
4. Finding your own understanding of "civil disobedience" on your blog
- Develop your own definition based on what we've read and reflected on today.
- Find an example of civil disobedience (any time from the last century is fine) and connect it to Thoreau or MLK.
HW:
1. Assigned book club reading and syllabus-creating for tomorrow. Remember that your book must be finished by Thursday.
2. Work on your final speech by writing/outlining, preparing your media, and practicing every night. Be ready to deliver it on Friday, Dec 16. Do not be absent this day.
3. If you've been absent or behind, take some time to update your Transcendentalist blog posts. I will start grading them after school on Thursday, Dec 15.
