for our MOM: [Think of a smell that makes you happy. Focus on it and see if you can actually smell it. Closing your eyes may help. Sitting next to dirty laundry will not.]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Quick, think of a story you remember. It could be a book, movie, TV show, or even just something someone told you. What do you remember about it? Why do you think it came to mind today?
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Our meeting
4. Post
POST: Today on Zoom we spent a few minutes reading and discussing the introduction of the essay I wrote about Fahrenheit 451. Please read the essay over the weekend, and post your first impression on your blog. (title: I KNOW THIS GUY!) Note: the title is a pun... you don't know Guy Montag, but you do know the guy who wrote the essay on Medium, and hopefully you will know Guy Montag a little better by the time you get to the end of the essay.
ALSO: On Monday's Zoom call we will be talking about your first impressions, the themes of the novel, and the techniques that Bradbury used to give us a sense of meaning. Our discussion will give us the foundation to write essays about the experience of reading Fahrenheit 451.
