Agenda:
Happy Thursday everyone! Thank you so much for your passion yesterday; I swear there is a method to my madness and I will share that with you today.
In the words of William Faulkner “People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.”
-Quick final reflection of the debate
-We will go get The Awakening from the library
-As a class, we will read "The Story of An Hour" by Kate Chopin. Make sure you annotate your copy and note observations that you believe are important to share. This is the perfect introduction to issues that Kate Chopin is concerned with, which we will discuss in much greater detail while reading The Awakening.
Homework:
-Read The Awakening pgs. 1-34
**If you need help with vocabulary while reading, these are two great places to look.
-Kate Chopin Vocabulary
