September 23: Flashback and To Be Verbs

You know what Hamlet said . . .

To be, or not to be – that is the question:

Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The lowered grade of boring verb choice

Or to take action ‘gainst a sea of to-be’s,

And by opposing end them.

– Hamlet, III.i

Today, we started by opposing to be verbs!

1. Students picked up this sheet (G1) and we worked through it together in class (not for a grade): Not-to-be.

2. Next, we took some notes on Flashback using this sheet: Flashback (W8).

HW: None. We will continue to work on our memoirs during class. The full rough draft will be due Monday and the full final draft will be due the following Friday, October 3.
