Today, doing much better on keeping this updated.
We read the short story "The Interlopers" by Saki and were assigned the terms and the questions for work in class.
We had a few minutes to get that done then we went through a few of the articles for the Short Piece Unit presentations, on the right-hand side of the blog. All is good. I also showed an example of the Powerpoint "deck" that was to be handed in as a part of the presentation.
*you can use other presentation software - just ask ahead of time!
Then, I posted the due dates for the first unit.
“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”
