We started today's class by looking at some roots and prefix review tests from last year to see what people had remembered. We corrected these tests and talked about the answers in class (this was not for credit, just for fun and to check on retention).
Next, people worked with a partner to review the main plot points of "Harrison Bergeron." We discussed these plot points in class and then began watching a film adaptation of the short story called, "2081." We will finish this short film tomorrow and compare the affects of changes in the plot to the overall message of the story.
Handouts:
"Harrison Bergeron" and "2081" plot outline
Homework:
Read to page 79 in The Giver for Wednesday.
