For our MOM: [Pick a spot on the wall. Try to bore a hole through it with your eyes. Breathe.]
JOURNAL TOPIC: If school opened tomorrow, would you and your family trust it to be safe? Why/why not?
-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. Meeting
4. Post
POST: Compare the dialogue in the section we read today, between Lieutenant Scheisskopf, Major Metcalf, and Clevinger, with the dialogue between Abbott & Costello in their comedy routine "Who's On First" (video at bottom). Why does Joseph Heller create this style of ridiculous dialogue? Usually people talk to each other because they want to understand and be understood. Metcalf and Scheisskopf say things that make no sense and contradict each other -- and occasionally even themselves! (title: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?)
