Directions:
Identify an important passage in the book that we have NOT discussed as a class, and that another classmate has NOT chosen.

 Type the passage, and then:

 1. Explain the significance of the passage to the book
2. Explain the significance of the passage to the course (look at the topics we brainstormed and the essential questions if you get stuck.
3. Comment on at least one of your classmate's comment.

Block 2 post your comments on the section III discussion here

For those of you who were PRESENT for the discussion, please respond to one of the questions that we did not address in class. Be sure to use TEXT and DETAILS from the book in your response. Then, be sure to comment on one other person's reponse.

If you were absent, talk to me about a makeup. Also, you missed a quiz, so be sure to stop by the ERC and take your quiz. You cannot use your book to take the quiz. I hope you all did well on your AP exams :)
