For homework tonight I want you to read the excerpt from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's 1970 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech. As you read, focus on the two questions that I've given you at the top of the speech.
- What is Solzhenitsyn's view on the purpose of authors and literature?
- How does this piece reflect the idea of culture which we've been focused on in this unit?
There is also a lot of vocabulary that you can glean from this excerpt, make sure that you're adding to those vocabulary bookmarks. Finally, be sure that you annotate this text heavily. I'm looking forward to a great seminar on Friday to finish our week.
ESL English III
Tonight I want you to read independently in our story "A Taste of Home". You need to read to the top of page 199. As you're reading, continue to focus on what we learn about the narrator, take notes as you read to help you remember what you're reading. Also, like always, focus on your vocabulary.
