Week 2: What to Expect

Monday, Sept. 10th:
* Jesus' Son viewing. We will be comparing and contrasting the song's portrayal of the protagonist to the story's portrayal, to Hollywood's portrayal.
* Point of View Quiz. 4 questions, just like the practice. Show what you know, and spelling counts.
* SDS: Self-Directed Search. You will be diving into yourself. We're going to figure out what you value, what you want in your future, what activities interest you or that you hate, and we're going to pair you with potential career interests.
