Class Discussion:
5) Journal Assignment: Write a page and a half journal entry in which you begin to compare the culture of your hometown and high school life with that you are experiencing here at college as of now. Here you will begin to formulate some generalized observations of similarities and differences in your experiences.
Homework:
Read and Annotate Tuesdays with Morrie to page 54
Part 1) Answer this question in a full-page essay in your journal: Why is the second chapter called “The Syllabus”?
Part 2) Write a two-page essay in which you describe your “culture”. Be prepared to present this next time. The definition of this “culture” is up to you. It is your description and should include everything that you think is relevant. This is meant to be prewriting for a later stage of writing and should be considered as such. Do take into account the kinds of things Albom mentions, for instance on page 42, but speak to contemporary (current) issues.
