Today we started with a question: What does it mean to be literate? We defined different aspects of being literate, and then we responded to the question of: is literacy a luxury or a necessity? We were divided, but it proved to be a lively debate. After that, we discussed a poem by Emily Dickinson.
We discussed Nobodies and Somebodies. We watched a Cribs video of a Somebody—a guy named Akon. We then started Walt Whitman's excerpt from "Song of Myself." We talked about the universe blanket/towel and how we're all interconnected. Finally, we discussed MLA format. Your FINAL DRAFT of the My Name assignment is due MONDAY, as is your coat of arms. Have a great weekend.
