If you were a frog in boiling water ...

AP studs read and discussed The Handmaid's Tale and started the following warm-up:

Warm-up – November 3, 2014

Write a PAGE in response to the following prompt.  As support for your responses, draw on history, literature, personal experiences, culture.  (Query:  what is the effect of the foregoing ___________?)

“Nothing changes instantaneously:  in a gradually heating bathtub you’d be boiled to death before you knew it” (Handmaid’s Tale, 56).

You will have about seven minutes in class to finish this warm-up.  Then you will take a quote test on pages 1-75 of The Handmaid's Tale.  You will also leave your book with me tomorrow night so that I can grade annotations.

Remember your binder check is Thursday. 

Seventh period read (SSR) and submitted homework for The Crucible.  

Tomorrow we will define new vocabulary!

  

And continue drafting your character chart!  And read The Crucible!
