Notes for April 27, 2009

Today, Laz told us that we will be receiving random quizzes at LEAST once a week on the poems/biographies of poets. However, if the class average for a quiz ever goes below a 60% then we will get quizzes DAILY until the class average goes above a 60% again. These quizzes will we purely reading comprehension, no in depth analysis whatsoever, so there is a potential to boost your grade a lot.
We then started discussing the short story that was assigned on Friday, "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. After we went into some detail on how the things the soldiers carried reflected what mental burdens they carried, Laz had us make a typed list of EVERYTHING we had on us at the time. This list is due in class tomorrow.
