B-day Novemeber 18 or 19

Agenda:
1. Foils A. Definition; B. Venn Diagrams; C. Insight into Kindred. 2. Read.
What we did:
1. Handed back CEW Theme work from A-day
2. Students took notes on the power point on Foils (can be linked to on the last entry on the Moodle Page). Students copied down definitions and then put the definition into their own words. B. Students made Venn Diagrams for Dana and Alice/Kevin and Rufus.
C. Students discussed with partners what they found with their Venn Diagrams and then considered this question: "Why did Butler use foils? What does her use a foils add to the meaning of the text?" Students wrote all the reasons in their notebooks--and then submitted their "best" one in writing to Forsberg.
3. Students read Kindred.
