12.09 - Inmates and the Internet / Anthem Chptr 1 Questions

At the beginning of class today, we returned to our discussion of whether or not inmates in federal prisons should have access to the internet. We began with everyone writing down their general perspective on the topic. I then handed out outline sheets which everyone filled out to develop their perspective on the topic. Everyone completed the outline sheet and then wrote their response formally in paragraph form.

After everyone completed this, we went around and shared out whether or not people felt inmates in federal prisons should have full access to the internet, no access to the internet, or limited access to the internet. In this share out we came down to a tie between limited internet and no internet.

Next, everyone returned to working on the post-reading questions for chapter 1 of Anthem. Everyone had the rest of the period to complete these questions.

For class tomorrow, each person should bring in a printed copy of their poem.

Homework:

If you did not do so in class, finish your outline and formal response to the question about federal prison inmates and internet access.

If you did not do so in class, finish responding to the post-reading questions for the first chapter of Anthem.

Bring in a hard copy of your Poetry Out Loud poem for class tomorrow.
