AGENDA 11/15

Continue watching film: Crime and Punishment in America
Complete response to the two questions posted below--list one prompt on each side of a paper (I recommend jotting notes as you watch, perhaps on a separate sheet before crafting your "official" response):
  1. What do you find surprising / shocking / interesting?
  2. How might the ideas in this film connect to the issues of crime and punishment and the culture of fear in Billy Budd?
If time permits, share out responses and discuss. Turn in to the substitute at the end of the period. You'll get your notes/responses back tomorrow.

HW: Read Billy Budd through Chapter 23 by Monday, 11/19. Expect a reading quiz! Also continue reading indie reading book--you should be halfway through it before Thanksgiving!
