Essay Prompt

In “The Sanctuary of School” Linda Barry argues that schools are not doing enough to support children. Most notably, she mentions how funding for before and after school programs is being cut. Barry wants more funding but says that many people feel that it is not the role of the school to babysit. What side of the issue do you come down on and why? Do schools owe more to children or are they doing enough? Use your own experience in school as support for your argument.

?

Slide8

Malak’s Discussion Questions

“I think of her and see, with marked clarity, a small, compact woman

with apricot-colored

hair. She is with a young girl and she is saying something. She is saying

: ‘

Pay attention.’” Why would she choose to end her narrative like that? Please analyze

and explain

with details from the narrative to support your analysis?

2. Interpret this quote,

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul...”

3. How would you describe the words that Steinbach used in paragraph 31? Would you

say that

it was filled with more emotion or it was just a statement?

Exploding Sentences

Slide11

Exploding Sentences

I woke up late this morning--as usual. I had no clean clothes and the fridge was next to bare. Traffic was heavy as I sped to work. Some jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck. At work I went to my desk and there was a note to go and see the boss. I waited outside her office for a while before she called me in. I couldn’t figure out why she wanted to see me. I went inside and sat down. My boss handed me an envelope. She told me that my services were no longer needed and that I was free to go. I got my belongings from my desk and left. The drive home was quick. I am now unemployed.

Slide13

Some jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck.

Some jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck. I hate people who can’t drive. I decided to teach him a little lesson by playing near bumper cars with his bright red 300 ZX. He kept hitting his brakes, and eventually even shook a fist of rage at me. I giggled gleefully--kind of like that lady in 

Fried Green Tomatoes

 who got immense pleasure from repeatedly rear-ending the car of the person who had stolen her parking space. Space is crucial, and that jerk will probably think twice before he cuts into mine again.
