9th - 12th Writing, January 30

Lesson:

Most students were missing class, due to conflicting events such as a speech and debate tournament, so the class ended up being more of a tutoring session.

The rest of the class will need to read the homework assignment in time for our next class.

Assignment:
Students will read and analyze F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It can be downloaded here. Note literary elements, particularly those related to setting, character, and especially theme.

(Note: I have not seen the film, so do not know how it follows the story. I assume the movie adds in more. We are analyzing the written story, not the film.)
