TODAY IN CLASS
Song of Solomon people just reading--the goal during class was Ch. 3, but you might well have gotten farther.  Continue adding to patterns, notice elements that may not repeat but seem really significant, and most definitely be ready to discuss troubling elements ("troubling" can have many shades of meaning).

The Glass Menagerie--I was really impressed with the knowledge and insight that came out in the pull-out discussion groups today.  Apologies to the second group from 1st period--you did fine, but you definitely got short shrift.  Do think about a couple of other things we didn't get to at all--the elements/motifs of interest besides the "glass menagerie" itself  (we'll take just a moment for this tomorrow) and note that there really is a set composition that the text refers to when it's speaking of music. And even though I was determined to split the time evenly in 5th, the first group was exceptionally willing to carry on discussion on their own, and I just can't stop that sort of thing!  Keep up the good reading.

FOR WEDNESDAY
S of S--read Chapter 5 for sure.
The Glass Menagerie--you should easily be able to finish the play for tomorrow.
