Today we began the period by discussing the author Tim O'Brien and how his writing style fit into post modernism. We then read an except from his book, The Things They Carried. We then answered questions together as class, and then the students worked on their study guides independently.

Students were also given time in class to work on their essays or paragraphs for part one of the Ancestry Project, which is due tomorrow.
