A Word About Late Work

As of February 9, any work that is considered "classwork" (to be completed in class) will not be accepted late. If it is not turned in when it is due (during class), it will be a zero.

Day 4: Anthem Test Review

  1. Journal “Looking back” – Review your journal from November 10 (“I, Unique”). Which of your personal values, goals, and loves would be allowed in the society portrayed in Anthem? Why would any of them be forbidden?
  2. Chapters 10-12 Quiz
  3. Complete character sketches
  4. Essay Assignment. Students were given a list of 6 topics to choose from. They then had to brainstorm for all 6 topics. This was due after 12 minutes. Link to essay assignment and topics.
  5. We went over Chapters 6-9 Quiz. If students want their quiz from today before the test, they can come by after school tomorrow to pick it up.
  6. Test Review Students broke up into 4 large groups to answer specific questions on the test review. After 15 minutes, they went back to their table groups to share the answers. Link to Test Review
  7. Concepts and illustrations in Anthem. Students identified which concepts the following quotes illustrate:

Altruism
"If you are not needed by your brother men, there is no reason for you to burden the earth with your bodies" (page 22)
"Indeed you are happy…how else can men be when they live for their brothers" (45)
Egoism
"My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose." (95)
Conformity
"It is not good to be different from our brothers…" (21)
Obedience
"You shall do that which the Council of Vocations prescribe for you…for the Council knows…better than you" (22)

HOMEWORK:
•Study Questions for each chapter
•Vocabulary Chapters 10-12 (the ones missed on the pre-test)
