Please read the following information carefully so that you know what I need from you by the end of class.


 * 1) Orwell Quiz:** Work independently on your quiz on Orwell's Gandhi article (quiz embedded in page below). You will receive a small grade on this assignment. DO NOT SHARE ANSWERS--Your work should be your own. You may access the shared Google Doc for assistance. **This should take you about 15-20 minutes to complete thoroughly.**


 * 2) Working Thesis:** Create a Google Document IN OUR SHARED PRE-WRITING FOLDER called "Working Thesis."

Click here to see what I want this document to contain. Feel free to copy and paste the text from this template into your Working Thesis Google Doc. This should be complete by the end of class on Friday. I will be checking this weekend on your progress.


 * 3) Homework:** For homework, read your final two sources, and ANSWER THE QUESTIONS in writing/word doc/Google doc by the beginning of Monday's class.


 * Gwendolyn Brooks, “Kitchenette Building” (1963) []
 * Look up the word "kitchenette." What is a kitchenette? Why is this important to the poem?
 * List two images in the poem that seem to be strong contrasts. What tension do you think Brooks is trying to express through these contrasting images?
 * How do you think the speaker of the poem would answer the essential question? Explain your reasoning.


 * Tamar Lewin, “When It’s One Absolute Right Against Another” (1988) [] (Article is two pages--be sure to read both!)
