Today, we covered the first five words of Unit 8 in the vocabulary book. Then, it was on to book discussion of reading #5: pages 103-130. This was a quicker read than earlier assignments and indeed, the novel picks up its pace from here. Winston and Julia finally develop a relationship, and while it begins as a physical one, soon Winston wants it to be more and is willing to risk more to have it be so. We touched on major issues of the reading which you can see from your class notes, but there is more to be had. We'll get to that tomorrow, as well as a discussion of your 12-sentence paragraphs which are due tomorrow. (Lost the handout from last week? Check here.)
Tonight's homework is to finish your paragraph. For Friday, please read up through page 158 of the novel.
Oh, and for group 4, here is the link about real lemming behavior. So much for thinking Disney tells us nothing but the truth... (ha!)
Also, here is more about the nursery rhyme from the novel.
