Monday, 10/13

Agenda
1) Warmup:
Who or what is responsible for what happened in "The Veldt?"
2) Debate

Homework
None


Today we continued with "The Veldt," a short story by Ray Bradbury, which the students read last week. We focussed on who or what is responsible for what happens. After writing about that in the warmup, we broke into teams based on our answers and had a debate.

In general the debate went well and I was pleased that kids were able to read a challenging story and organize their thoughts on it, all on their own.
