We discussed the ending of Huckleberry Finn, especially the revelations about Huck's father and about Jim's having been freed, and what these revelations say about Jim and Tom respectively.

Mr. Potratz announced, and students recorded, the following due dates:

Friday (3/27): Three additional Quote & Comment sheets
Monday (3/30): Thesis statement and sentence outline
Tuesday (4/1): First draft
Thursday (4/3): Final draft

The essay is to include a total of at least eight (8, VIII) chunks.

The prompt:
What does Huck learn, during the course of the novel, about human nature, human society, and about himself?

Mr. Potratz was absent. Students took the 3rd Huck Finn quiz, then watched more of the Mark Twain documentary. Or not.
