We started today's class with a clip from The Late Show monologue - we discussed freedom of information, the collection and dissemination of data, and the ways in which the control of knowledge can impact democracy.
Students got a quick review of colons and semi colons (and a sheet for each).
In small groups, students (each on their very own sheet) listed the themes that have come up thus far in the text - and we wrote them on the board.
We discussed the theme of pressure - how it has appeared so far in the text (and the way in which first-person is useful for initial responses to text).
Students selected groups for upcoming "fishbowl" work with sections of the text, but did not go further than group selection.
Finally, students considered the following questions:
• Do you like the narrative hook / style at the start of the novel? The page before Chapter One?
• What do you think is between Michael and Aisha? What was their relationship?
