Objective: Why study classic literature?
Here's what we did in class today:
1- I handed back the student papers on Lord of the Flies- We went over some basic comments, so students would understand how to improve papers. Each student wrote a specific goal to improve their writing for the next paper. They put the goal and their paper inside a manila folder and will keep that portfolio in class to refer to.
2- Students read the following article:

Then answered the following questions:

Although the handout with questions says to answer one question from each section, students were to answer one from each section in class and one from each section for homework. Therefore--students will turn in 6 well developed paragraphs at the beginning of class next time.
Homework: Turn in 6 well developed paragraphs/answers to questions next time. See handout above if you were absent.
