We finished up our Socratic discussion and then I provided some follow-up commentary and discussion. Students then collaborated on themes from the reading that was due Wednesday (due to Socratic and then assembly, the discussion of it had been delayed). The new reading (reminder) is due next Thursday -- pp.608-638. Students began analytical reading of the introductory essay in Gordon Hutner's Immigrant Voices -- to be finished in class Monday. (The choice to have it scored will be theirs this go 'round; so, we are conducting it according to assessment environment should some students choose to be scored.)
