In class on Monday, students completed Journal Entry #6 on the following topic (traveling students are expected to complete this as well):
From early childhood, we are encouraged--pressured, even--to be in the company of others: we are urged to belong to this or that group, to join this or that club, to spend time with this or that friend. People do everything to avoid being by themselves, treating solitude as though it were the equivalent of loneliness. And yet it is only when people are by themselves that they can truly achieve their most important goals.
Is solitude--spending time alone--necessary for people to achieve their most important goals? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue.
This journal entry will be discussed in class on Mon., Feb. 13th.
On Tuesday, students read The Picture of Dorian Gray (PoDG) on their own. There was no specific page assignment.
Due Mon., Feb. 13th: Students need to have read PoDG through pg. 126 and complete Reading Guide and Quotations through that point. Reading Guides and Quotations pages will be checked on Monday. Students who are not present on Monday must present Reading Guides and Quotation pages upon return to class.
