home Topic #1: [] Your Role: You are a boy (yes, all of you) from an English Boarding School in London during WWII.

1) Right click on the above link to open in a new tab and play the survival game. 2) On the discussion board, reflect on how you did, whether or not you would survive, and the experience in general. Remember to stay in your role. 3) Read other students' comments and respond to each other. Be very, very polite--you are proper young Englishmen, afterall. 4) Have a great time. I've tailored this especially for your class. I thought you would all enjoy this. I hope you do. I will be reading your responses this evening, so feel free to message me (either on the discussion board or with an email--just click on the little envelope in the upper right hand corner to do so).

Topic #2: In class watched a short documentary on the children evacuated from London during WWII. []. For homework, please write a journal entry (on the discussion board) as if you are one of the evacuated children (this may require a tiny bit of research on your own). Please read this site as well: []

Topic #3:**Due 11/1/10:** Visit the sophomore discussion page (sophmorediscussion.wikispaces.com) and click on the "discussion" tab. Respond to the discussion question related to the article we discussed in class ([]) and respond to a different student's response as well. Essentially, you're writing two responses--one of your own and one response to someone else's post. I've invited you to join this wiki, just accept the membership.

NO TOPIC FOR 11/15/10. PLEASE CLICK ON __LORD OF THE FLIES__ FOR HOMEWORK.

Due 11/17: Choose one of your annotations from the next chapter. Post your annotation, then //respond// to another student's post. http://sophomorediscussion.wikispaces.com/home

Due Nov. 23 (for class): Read chapters 7 and 8. Come prepared with a question that you think might be good for the forum discussion. Remember, we still have our regular class. Also, it would be great if some of you could bring a bag of chips or a simple snack for Block 8. NO TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION ON WIKI.
