Jeez, I don't want to give away everything with "A Modest Proposal" as all the classes are at different points of Swift's satirical essay. Such great fun!
Today was the deadline for the Lucy Logs and that box sure looks heavy! I will be perusing these over the next few days so that you may have those back for your eventual argumentative essay. More to come on that next week!
1: We spent the hour delving into Swift's satirical, hyperbolic solution to the hunger of Ireland. At our last moments, we found the real argument, the easy methods to solve the situation without resorting to babies! Tomorrow, we will finish the essay, you will find out about the related assignment, you will complete our last practice MC passage, and then, hopefully, our Lucy discussion.
3: We completed MC passage 4, starting with the questions this time and then utilizing class voting to practice process of elimination and accuracy of answers. In our last 15 minutes, you were transported to Ireland's poverty in the world of Swift, a world of hyperbolic means to solve the famine and death of the melancholy subjects of beggar mothers and children. We will finish that up tomorrow, then do many other items that our listed on the board. We are moving through that agenda!
7: Due to time constraints, we only made it through MC Passage 4 during class today. Satire for Wednesday.
