02.24 - Living Like Weasels

We started class today by reviewing the reflection responses that people wrote for homework last night around what it takes to make changes in society. 

We then looked at how people can identify and develop visions for the way life or the world should be by looking at Annie Dillard's story "Living Like Weasels". We began with the pre-reading question (see handout) which people answered and then we discussed together as a group.

Next, we looked at the reading annotations people would be taking while reading. We looked at the first paragraph together and then everyone had the remaining time in the period to finish the reading working individually or with partners to complete their annotations.

Everyone then had time in class to begin responding to the post-reading questions (questions 4 and 5) which everyone should finish answering for homework.
