august 22

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Don't You Remember" by Adele; "Memory" by Barbra Streisand]
When we read we make connections between the text and what we already know.  Sometimes we find ourselves surprised when a book calls to mind an old memory we haven't thought about in a long time.  What are your earliest memories?  What makes some things impossible to remember and other things impossible to forget?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Old Business: catching up, blogs etc.
3. New Business: the art of the essay
4. New Business: "Young Goodman Brown"


HW:
1. Read "Conscience of a Hacker" and respond with first impressions on your blog
2. Finish reading "Young Goodman Brown" and respond with first impressions in a post to your blog (title: YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN)
