Good Day:
The students are working hard every day. Attendance has been very good. Students will be reading The Grapes of Wrath. One student asked about Of Mice and Men, another story of the "Great Depression" and survival.
As we discussed the author, John Steinbeck, one of the students pointed out Of Mice and Men. This is actually a novella. It is intriguing that a student brought this book up. The class expressed an interest in reading this book. The intriguing part to me as their teacher is the fact that the story is about two friends, one who is disabled. I have a feeling that the students are not aware of this fact. Time will tell.
It was interesting reading the first chapter as it becomes obvious how graphic and detail oriented Steinbeck is in his writing.
I will let you know what happens, sharing our adventures.
Sincerely,
Mr. Telposky
