Today, we were focused on reading chapters 3 through 7 in Anthem and looking at the effects of the control that the government exerts over people in the book.
We began by looking at the ways that society exerts control over teenagers in our lives and what the unintended consequences of that control can be. An example of this from class was how everyone is encouraged to "respect your elders." A student shared that this is intended to help us value knowledge, skill, and wisdom that come with age, but can have the unintended consequence of ignoring knowledge, skills, and wisdom possessed by young people.
Everyone then had the rest of the period to work on this work using the Anthem - Control Damage assignment.
At this time, individuals also took turns completing the Endicott Research Survey which asks students about their perceptions and opinions on our school.
Homework:
If you did not do so in class, continue working on the Anthem - Control Damage assignment everyone will have some more time in class to work on this tomorrow.
Finish the Poetry Out Loud theme prompt if you have not yet done so.
Finish the “Poetry and Language” sheet if you have not yet done so.
Complete or revise assignments as necessary.
