Homework for Spring Break - B Day Students - 28 March 2018

Happy Break B-Day Students! I look forward to seeing you all when we return. I hope that you have a bit of fun planned for yourselves as well as time with people who are important to you. I'll get to spend a few days with my very best friend in the world, and I'm really excited for that!

As a reminder, I'll be grading your introduction and body paragraphs this weekend in your Frankenstein adaptation essay. Make sure that as you are working that you first address the feedback that I gave you with your introduction. Then, once you've done that, move on to your first body paragraph.

I gave you those example paragraphs to use as a model for yourselves, but you also have the other planning sheets that you can use to help you move forward with your essays.

Over the break you have two significant tasks. First, finish reading "The Allegory of the Cave" from 50 Essays or at this link. As you finish the dialogue, make sure that you consider the questions below.

1. Where do ideas come from? What makes some ideas better than others?
2. How is the creation and acquisition of knowledge connected to power?
3. How has Ellison been building connections back to Plato throughout his text?

Once you've finished with that, you have Chapters 20-24 to read over the break. As I said in class, the quiz that you have can reference everything back to Chapter 10. It would be a good idea to go through and check in on your annotations through those chapters to make sure that your book is an appropriate tool to help you be successful on the quiz when we return.

Lastly, if you did not turn in your paper or vocabulary cards today then you will want to get them turned in tomorrow!
