TODAY IN CLASS

3rd period--lost most of the period to the Senior Picture/Graduation info assembly.  That's a good cause, but . . . just know that tomorrow is the last day for "Sonny's Blues," and we have barely scratched the surface.

4th period--looked a a few random things and then explored categories of music.  Way more subgroups than I anticipated, so we didn't even get through all your ideas; there's some wrapping up to do.

For tomorrow--bring three solid ideas that will be the most important topics to discus as a wrap-up to our full-class attention to Baldwin's story. Write these in your notebooks, be prepared to share, but you do not need to hand them in.

But focus on significance:  what could you ask, and the class could discuss, that will generate the strongest insights into the story?
