Revised Reading Schedule & Homework

Hello,

I'm rethinking the reading schedule I passed out today in class. Here is a revised version of the reading schedule for now:

Thursday: Read to page 330, that's about halfway thru chapter 20
Friday: Read to the end of Chapter 20, pg. 361

Skip Ch. 21- I will review this chapter in class

Monday: Read all of Ch. 22, page 366 to 417

On Monday I will have a new reading schedule for the remainder of the novel. The homework assignment I assigned before break was due today. However, I will still accept it tomorrow as we are getting back into the swing of things after the break. Here is the assignment again in case you did not write it down in class:

Create a visual representation of one scene from The Grapes of Wrath that you feel encapsulates the theme of the novel at this point. Please add a direct quote from the scene under your visual representation.

Grapes of Wrath Reading

Hello,

I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break. You are responsible for reading through chapter 19 of The Grapes of Wrath before this Wednesday. We will be finishing the book over the next week so it's important that you keep up with the readings. You can expect a short reading quiz in class on Wednesday.

Logical Fallicies

Watch the following endorsement for Proactiv.

On a sheet of paper to be turned in, identify three logical fallacies used, and explain the significance of the fallacies.

Read chapter 8 from the Grapes of Wrath and be prepared for a reading quiz.
