D block--if you were out the day before vacation, this is your post!

Take a look at these essential questions, and keep them in mind as you listen and watch the texts:

• What roles do stories play in our lives?
• What is the story and who gets to tell it?
• How have stories made us who we are?
• How do the stories we tell & the language we use define who we are & how we think?

First, we listened to the segment of the podcast This American Life, linked here. To listen, you can just click the play arrow in the middle of the screen.

Then, we watched a 15-minute segment of Elf, from when he leaves the forest to the part after the Santagram.

Your task is to consider the essential questions above (you can pick one, or write about more than one), and answer the question(s) for the podcast and for Elf. Be as specific and thoughtful as you can!
