Homework: May 31

Honors English 11
  • Today in class, we watched the beginning of an interview with Tim O'Brien and Nate Fick, in which O'Brien discusses that elusive topic: TRUTH. It seems from your reflections that the interview was helpful in putting the book The Things They Carried into context, at least a little bit. We'll watch more of the interview on Monday. The video is embedded above for those of you who missed it; please watch it, as it will provide useful context for the stories.
  • This weekend, continue to read! Follow your reading schedule. Remember, your work is due on Tuesday. So, use this weekend to catch up, if you must!
  • Please remember to show your parents the notification letter regarding the film Restrepo. Parents, if you have any questions or concerns regarding our intent to watch this film and discuss it in the context of The Things They Carried and the soldier experience, please contact me.
  • Stay cool this weekend!
  • Good luck, Kaylee!
