I checked the ACT 3 homework--the five quotations and corresponding inferences. We discussed the end of the play.
Next, I introduced the film, Steel Magnolias. We discussed the symbolism of the title and I introduced the characters and the setting--a small town in the 1980s in Louisiana.
This film is similar to Our Town but it is more modern.
Our Town's three acts follow birth, marriage death.
Steel Magnolia's follows marriage, birth, death.
If you have been absent, rent the film and watch it. Copy down key quotes, character names, key actions and make notes on the film's ending. What do these characters learn about themselves and one another?
We will be writing an essay plan on Thursday and an essay on Friday.
Next week? Reviewing paragraph and essay writing. Having some fun with the meaning of life and writing about it.
Study your vocabulary words.
