Today, we discussed essay questions, focusing on including the author by name as part of the answer (a journal activity). I then handed out quotes from Gran Torino, explaining that students should know about nine quotes from the three sources they are most likely to use in writing their final (they will only use one but need three so that they can choose the best one to answer the question). I also handed out a questions booklet for this unit. Today, we began to watch Gran Torino holistically. We watched just over a half hour of it.
