I then discussed the importance of self awareness, self-regulation and motivation in achieving goals. This was in response to the students who are not keeping up with their readings and wondering about their marks.
I then read "Harrison Bergeron" out loud to the students to show reading time (fifteen minutes).
We then discussed our opinion of whether or not we'd like to live in a world in which everyone was equal (the consensus was no).
I then gave the students six questions to answer. They will be due at 9:30 in tomorrow's class (they agreed forty-five minutes to do the activity is sufficient).
I am pasting the questions below for those who were absent:
“Harrison
Bergeron”
Read the story

1.
List
all the characters and briefly describe them or who they are
2.
List
all the expository information (setting, time, place(s))
3.
What
happens in this story (beginning,
middle, end)?
4.
What
would be the topic of this essay? Why do you think that is the topic? Provide
evidence. Keep in mind that the unit is still equity and ethics. Look at your
own notes to see what these terms mean and if they are present in this short
story.
5.
What
point is the author trying to make with this story? Explain.
