There were no handouts for today.
IN CLASS TODAY:
- We opened by discussing rules for discussion so that everyone gets a change to make his or her case fully.
- Then, we discussed!
Notes for today may be found here.
HOMEWORK:
Using Wednesday's and Friday's notes to help you, you are to write a full summary of both the case for and the case against Wes. That means you will have two summaries. Each should outline both the argument and the key pieces of evidence. No matter which side you agree with, do both sides justice, and represent them as fairly and thoroughly as possible.
These documents will be extremely useful in the in class writing assignment on Monday in which you issue a verdict for or against Wes, making a case for your decision. Your goal is to convince me that your verdict is the right one because it is reasonable given the facts of the case, inspires in me an appropriate emotional response to Wes's character, and demonstrates a firm command of the novel's evidence. You may use the 12-sentence format, or deviate from it as your argument requires, but your final product must have three pieces of evidence.
You will turn in both your summaries and your verdicts at the end of the period.
