The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
John Dewey

Language Arts: Today we finished reading Act I, Scene II and began reading Scene III of the Anne Frank play. Students also had time to take notes on significant concrete details (text evidence) that they will later use to support their character analysis.

HW: Students are to complete Part 1 (the front side) of the "Check your INTERPRETATION skills" worksheet. They are to write commentary analyzing a character based on quotes that are given on this sheet. (For each CD given they are to provide at least one sentence of CM explaining what the quote shows about the character.)
