May 9-10 ... Brave New World Journal ... 21 DAYS UNTIL GRADUATION!

Students will analyze themes of the novel and write a personal response to the following prompt.  Quiz grade.  300-400 words.  You may type it and share it with me (Richard.Davis@sfisd.org) OR write it on a sheet of paper and turn it in to the tray.

In Brave New World, the government has taken away any conventional idea of LOVE or of FAMILIES.  Think about the world in which you live - how important (even when imperfect or unconventional) are these concepts to our society?  Would we lose our sense of humanity without them (EXPLAIN)?  Is there any facet of our lives that would be improved without them (EXPLAIN)?

Begin planning and writing today (Thursday 5/9).  Since Senior Smackdown has been rescheduled until May 29 (due to inclement weather in the forecast tomorrow) we will use class tomorrow to finish everything on it.  Then resume reading the novel.
