No New Reading. I’m going to show parts one and two of a very interesting film, “People like us,” one of the many excellent documentaries produced by PBS. The video too two long for one class period, so I’ll show parts one and two on Tuesday, and parts III and IV on Thursday. There will be some time to discuss the sections during the class period, and I do want you to reflect on the sections in your journal--reflect on the stories individually. This goes for Thursday, as well.
For those who like this sort of thing, I’m making two resources availabl. The first of these is a transcript of the dialogue. This may be especially interesting to any of you who are interested in Creative Writing. The second is a Teachers’ Guide, which may be of interest to those of you looking to a teaching career. I encourage you to read these, though I’m not requiring it.
Here are the page numbers for parts I & II
