Assignment+due+on+June+22

You should have read chapters 16-25 read by now. The following assignment relates to those chapters.

For your final assignment due on June 29, finish reading the novel.

1. This week, I want you to shift your focus from the students to the teacher. Consider Mr. Duffy. He went "out on a limb" with this group and tried something new. Reflect on him and on his role in this novel for a few minutes, then write a block about him. Consider such things as did he go too far? Did he not go far enough? Was his basic idea good or bad? How realistic is it? Would something like this work in reality or is it just the stuff of novels? What else could be have done? What did he do right? What did he do wrong? Consider all of this questions holistically (look that word up) and respond with a blog.

2. Providing you have not finished the novel, predict the ending.

Note: Some of your blogs are too general! Be specific; don't just state your agreement with someone else! Think and respond individually. Be insightful.
