  1. Daily Agenda Eng IV 6/20/13

  2. Bellwork • Please answer the questions, you have five minutes. • We will go over the answers after that time.

  3. Quote free response • Depending on the number you got when you came into class, you will be writing a journal free response to one of the quotes on the following slide. You will write for the whole 15 minutes at the end of the 15 minutes, we will share responses. • Ways to RESPOND to the quotes: • Rephrase or Restate the quote. • Explain the quote. • Summarize the quote. • Pose questions related to the quote and its ideas • Offer an alternative view. • Note your first thoughts when you read the quote. • Describe a situation where the quote could pertain to your life.

  4. Free Response Quotes • "Every burned book enlightens the world." —Ralph Waldo Emerson • "The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame." —Oscar Wilde • "Fear of ideas makes us impotent and ineffective." —William O. Douglas • "You have not converted a man because you have silenced him." —John Morley • "Only the suppressed word is dangerous." —Ludwig Byrne • "Free speech is life itself." —Salman Rushdie • "No word can hurt you... No idea can hurt you. Not being able to express an idea or a word will hurt you much more. As much as a bullet." —Jamaica Kincaid

  5. Utopia Planning • On a sheet of paper, take 6 minutes to make a list of things that you would want to be included or to happen if you were to create a Utopia. What rules would you have? What things would we have? What wouldn’t we have? Who would be allowed there? Who would we get rid of?

  6. Utopia Planning • Okay, now we are going to compile our list of rules for the Utopia we are creating. • We will go around the room and each person will share one of his or her requirements from their list at a time. • Once they have shared their item, we will vote on it, but not for it. Once they have read it, if you object to this Utopian rule that has been proposed, raise your hand.. • If a rule gets any opposition, it cannot be a rule in our Utopia. No argument, no trying to change minds. • We will go around, sharing the rules one at a time until all suggestions have been given and our list of rules has been compiled.
