10-9 Happenings

Today we reviewed the Packer Contest and checked for supplies. I explained the Blog Log (but have not yet handed out the assignment) and reviewed Parts 1 and 2 of Dead Poets' Society. I then previewed Part 3, the final part of the movie. We watched Segment 1 of Part 3, reviewed the study guide questions (57-64) and discussed Knox's fear of rejection. I previewed Segment 2 of part 3 which we watched and then reviewed the study guide questions (65-68). We discussed the topic and seriousness of suicide as well as Neil's fear of telling his father how he really felt and what he really wanted. I previewed Segment 3 of Part 3 which we watched and then reviewed the study guide questions (69-75). We discussed Todd's fear of speaking in front of others.
