March 13th

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!

March 6th

Good morning,

I will not be in school until Thursday.

Hand in your work to the teacher in the class and kindly tell him or her that it is due today and he will collect it and put it on my desk.

Use this week in class to read.  You are to finish "A Rose for Emily" before Friday.  There will be a quiz on the story.  You are to examine and look at what the author is saying about gender equality and race.  I also want you to start thinking about a modern example of gender Inequality to write about on Friday!

I will probably put a question or two from Of Mice and Men too!  Something about what we have been talking about.

See you all in a few days!
