Good morning grade 11's
As you can see I am not here today. I won't be here next Monday either for obvious reasons.
Today you are to spend at least 15 - 20 minutes reading your Of Mice and Men. For the remainder of the class, look for proof of both race and gender issues. Have two examples ready for tomorrow's class in either Rose for Emily or Mice and Men.
I will award a +5% BONUS on your last assignment you gave me for anyone who can find an example of race or gender that no one else has found.
Good luck!
See you Tuesday!
