Tuesday, October 16th

Today, you will gather in small groups to perform 2 tasks:

1. Discuss the content of The Last Lecture.
The Last Lecture Discussion Questions

2. Start brainstorming some possible paper topics/issues that derive from The Last Lecture.

• What are some big universal issues that this text addresses? 
• What are some choices, stances, opinions, arguments that are made in the text that you feel warrant more thought? You disagree with. You agree with. Why? 
• What places do you gravitate to in your reading? Why? 
• Any quotes that you feel that are incredible poignant? Why? What is the issue or larger issue that they speak to? Can you find any other quotes that are "friends" of this quote? What patterns are being developed? 
• Do you notice anything about language? Literary elements? 

WHEN YOU ARE DONE:
1. Go to Schoology and report some of your findings about possible paper topics or issues that you think an argument/analysis can be found.

2. For Wednesday: PICK 2 of your Boot Camp topics. JUST TWO. You will construct an extended paragraph structure for both topics. You should already have Step 5 done for these. Keep these out of your notes..  They need to be attached to your Steps 2-5. Clearly label each step.
