- I collected the 15 short study questions over Part I.
- We finished discussing the ideas that connect across chapters using the hand-out from yesterday (1st period just got the hand-out today, but we'd done most of the same thing yesterday anyway).
- You should have read through 7-8 for today (Wednesday); it was obvious that many of you had done so, but a few (just as clearly) had not. :(
FOR TOMORROW
1. The quiz covers the full Chapter One, which includes smaller chapters I-VIII (pp. 1-104).
You will need to answer straightforward questions (a single phrase to a sentence or two will be needed). No word bank, no multiple choice . . . just respond to what's asked.
2. There is homework to help you with a significant part of Chapter VIII. Study the conversation between the Old Prole and Winston (pp. 88-92) and follow the instructions on the hand-out you received in class.
*** If you were absent, just study the conversation and make a chart in three columns to keep track of what the Old Prole reveals about life before the Revolution. Make a column for CULTURAL (political, educational, religious), a second column for CULTURAL (general "quality of life" issues), and a third column for ECONOMICS. Write down a key phrase or two that will identify the aspect or feature of life "back in the day." (Don't stress if something could overlap--just pick the column you think works best.)
So yes, these are due tomorrow.
3. The quiz will not by any means take the full period, and it will not be the very first thing that we do.
