9/25 Recap

Good morning!

1. Taylor was not late and therefore did not bake us cookies. We'll see about Thursday.
   
2. Please finish the Jim Shepard article, and respond to it either on the community blog, or on your private blog. What about the article is worth an A+, as I claim? Also I'd like you to explain what Sheppard's reasoning is when he says "It's not an accident that Spielberg has made three films about World War II and none about Vietnam."
   
3. Before writing your third RA (I posted the topics below) please take 5 minutes to read the two sample essays I distributed in class, paying attention to the author's comments in the margins; keeping the comments and the essays' structure in mind as you write will help make your own writing better.
4. Begin to think about the three movies we've seen to prepare for discussion on Thursday. Are they "good" movies? What do they show us? What don't they show us?
   
5. My posts are now in seductive purple: before adding your own post, make sure you scroll around to check if I've written something new and relevant.
