Isn't "Harrison Bergernon" a great story to start out with? Vonegut (the guy who wrote the story) is a master of political satire. I absolutely love his book Sirens of Titan, but Slaughterhouse Five is also good and is his best known work.

Today we talked about the future and what it might bring in the next ten years. We talked about awesome innovations and crazy laws that might come to pass. We talked a little bit about plot and then completed a plot worksheet for "Harrison Bergernon," on which we discussed exposition, rising action, climax, and falling action. This assignment should have been completed in class and turned in.

Tomorrow we are going to do some finger painting as an introduction to the novel Flowers for Algernon. I think it's going to be awesome!
