dear foxes,
i am sitting at the computer in the sweltering heat. we are sweaty and stinky. tryna get these copies done. we wouldn’t have to have no goddamn copies if our books were here. but they ain’t here of course. i say people – literature books are definitely worth fighting for.
Anyway, here’s a document for you.
I found a great resource from PBS on Hemingway and the Lost Generation… we should consider using some of this stuff at the Hemingway station when students are considering their Author Study options next week. And/or we can use it at some point during the term when they’re conducting their research.

Here’s a great quote from Gertrude Stein on the Lost Generation:
“Every man becomes civilized between the ages of 18 and 25. If he does not go through a civilizing experience at that time of his life, he will not become a civilized man. The men who went to war at 18 missed the civilizing. All you young people who served in the war are a lost generation. You have no respect for anything.”
-Gertrude Stein
Hello team,
Just trying to get the Point Sheet together for lBb. Given what we want to focus on, here’s a sample setup for 25 points a day:
We also need to decide on what assignments will make up the last 75 points. For Author Study, we’re doing 25 points each for weekly JOURNAL, DISCUSSION & GROUP WORK assignments. What do we want to use?
We can remove Class Participation from the daily score & just do a weekly Class Participation/Discussion grade, which will eliminate going back & putting in a score for that each day. (We’ll just put those points somewhere else)
I’ve uploaded a draft for you to play with in the orange box on the right. Edit at will. Let me know what you think!
Nikki
