Journal


“Humanity's legacy of stories and storytelling
is the most precious we have.
All wisdom is in our stories and songs.
A story is how we construct our experiences.
At the very simplest, it can be:
'He/she was born, lived, died.'
Probably that is the template of our stories—
a beginning, middle, and end.
This structure is in our minds.”      Doris Lessing
“I decided to devote my life
to telling the story
because I felt that having survived
I owe something to the dead.
And anyone who does not remember
betrays them again.”                           --Elie Wiesel

  2. If you were absent, you’re going to take the pre-quiz, grade it, then take the real quiz--fun times!
  3. After you turn in your quiz, I am giving you vocab work time, so all I want you to do is be on quizlet studying the new words--you will find them on schoology on “Vocab Quiz #2”, on the right hand side with your upcoming deadlines.
