Gents: Today in class, y'all did the following:
BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK TO CLASS ON WEDNESDAY (A2) / THURSDAY (B2)
- Took a brief quiz over O'Brien's short story.
- Enjoyed a seminar over the text with the following questions as a guide: At what stage of Kohlberg's Moral Development theory would you place O'Brien throughout the text? How does O'Brien's narrative perspective provide a glimpse into the rhetorical nature of the text? My notes are here for A2 (Word) and for B2 (Word)
- Along with your partner(s), complete and print part one of your quarter 2 project (PDF): The two-page research exposition and Works Cited page for your resource.
- (A2) Read Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" (from Language of Composition). We'll continue seminar'ing; you do not have to complete a seminar blog for today's discussion, but you'll write one at the end of the week after reading Thoreau's heralded essay. (B2) Read Malcolm Gladwell's "Small Change" (link / in Language of Composition); you'll read "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" for Monday, 12/8).
