Create a response to today's field trip.
It must not be an essay.
It is not something like "my favorite poet was _______ because_____". 
Instead, I want you to take what you saw and heard and present something that reflects your mind state or perception of the trip.
It can be on a poet him/herself, on a poem/story you heard, the idea of a Writer's Festival, the moderator, or whatever resonated with you.
You can do a poem, a narrative, a song, a word collage or anything else in written form. 
Be creative.
Bottom line: You need to hand in something that shows me you were present and engaged on today's field trip.

1. Vonnegut's message seems to say that individual civil rights should never be sacrificed the alleged common good. Do you see examples of this in 1984? Comment on both.

For the Humour and Irony rengiad, please answer all of the questions at the end of the section.
As a follow up to the play we saw on Friday please respond to either of the following questions in written format. The length is determined by the depth of your response:

This adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream was quite bawdy at times see definition.
Was such an inclusion helpful, harmful, or of no consequence? Consider the audience, the original script if you have read it and our current social culture in your response.

Or

This adaption of Midsummer's Night Dream took many liberties with pop culture music, songs from the recent past, lines and actions that were not in the original script (for example, taking a 'selfie' with a member of the audience). Did you enjoy such freedom of the actors? Likely they added an element of humour but did they serve any other purpose for the audience and did you appreciate these extra elements in the play?

Windy Wednesday

English 

1. Finish reading Just Lather, That's all. It's a good one! Write down the answers to the two questions at the end of the handout.

2. In a second paragraph, reflect on some patterns in your life that you might need to reconsider after reading and discussing this section (unclean water). What are some habits that you feel you might want to include or exclude from your life. It can be anything from replacing your shower head with a less wasteful one to supporting an NGO doing water-based work abroad.

3. This weekend take the three gallon challenge (not for marks). Try to experience what its like not having accessible clean water. You can find three gallons of water at your local store. Find out what its really like to wash your clothes, your body, cook, brush your teeth, etc with only three gallons of water.
