I hope everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend (the first one)! Here's the agenda for the week:
TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Finish year 2219 activity. Go through Huckleberry Finn as a book and discuss chapters. Read the first part of Chapter 16. Introduce extra credit opportunity with Huckleberry Finn reading. Discussion and activity: trigger warnings.
Due: Please read the following two articles about controversial topics at college and trigger warnings. Note the speakers in both cases, and come with your own opinions about whether or not trigger warnings should be given before teachers assign books and speakers come to colleges.
