Average English 12 (March 3, 2008)

In Class:
  • Samuel Pepys quizzes back (10 pts)...correct answers verified, and questions answered
  • Began Daniel Defoe biography on pg 556 in your text (make a mental note that this is the guy who wrote that quote we've been applying to our writings, and video viewings...he also wrote Robinson Crusoe!)
  • Read Make the Connection and Background on pg 557 and the first two entries in The Journal of the Plague Year on pgs 558-560 in your text.

We'll be viewing a portion of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when we read burial pits and dead carts...Oh, I can't wait.
