On Friday, Feb. 10th, you will have a substitute teacher. You will have SILENT reading time to read our final sci-fi short story, "Harrison Bergeron," by Kurt Vonnegut. Make sure you practice "CLOSE READING," asking yourselves questions as you go along. If you'd like to print out the story to annotate it, please feel free to do so in class or at home. Also, as stated Thursday in class, make sure you know all of our stories' (approximate) dates of publication, and important background information about the author of this piece and the others.
There will be a quiz on "Harrison Bergeron" on Tuesday, so make sure you are prepared (and review it over the long weekend). Also, make sure to review the other texts, as we are approaching a test on our SCI-FI UNIT soon!
And now, welcome to the strange world of:
"Harrison Bergeron"
