Assignments are provided as a courtesy to students who are absent. Keep in mind that some assignments are interactive and therefore cannot be made up.

Tues. 5/1

1. Couplets Poems

2. Allegory: "Sneetches" Watch movie at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yJomUhs0g&feature=related

If link doesn't take you to movie, then type "sneetches" in youtube search box.

The Sneetches appear to have a silly "star wars" conflict, but this movie is actually an allegory about discrimination, segregation, and diversity. Apply the movie to an event (past or present) when people were treated with prejudice. Describe how they were excluded. Compare McBean to an actual person or people who were able to control the population and benefited from the situation.
