A few student groups finished their presentations and then I led the students on a bit more discussion on the topic of women in the Revolutionary era. (They added to their E.Q. and C.Q. pages.) We began work toward our viewing of "12 Years A Slave" -- see me to arrange a time to complete the Context/Lens work page if you wish to have it scored. If your prefer to keep your most recent, previous Context/Lens score, then simply pick up a sheet from me and fill in the important information from a reliable classmate. (This is a RARE option that I provide every once in a great while -- to choose whether to "stay" or to have a new work scored.) I then shared some information with the class to provide scholarly insight about the film's adaptation of the "12 Years" story -- to be finished in class tomorrow in some hours. Finally, a viewing notes page was provided on which students will take analytical notes during the film, which will be used for a scored Socratic discussion.
