The in-class writing prompt for February 16th is to write about a nightmare experience that you lived through. Think about the film we watched in class, Groundhog Day, and write about a time when your fears came to fruition. Or, another way to think about it is to write about a really horrible day that you experienced.
As I discussed in class on the 16th, you have some reading and writing homework. The written assignment is to respond to the Good Thunder reading (assignment sheet found in D2L under the Content section).
In addition to writing a response to the Good Thunder reading, you have two reading assignments for homework: the first is to read an essay by Diana Joseph titled, "The Boy," and the second is to read an essay by Sarah Vowell titled, "Shooting Dad." Be prepared to discuss both essays in class on February 23rd.
