Friday: "We had the sky up there"

Today we will be discussing chapters 12-22 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Here is the link to the handout for today if you are absent.

Agenda
1. quiz: plot points (10 minutes)
2. handout: practice close reading and thematic application (10-15 minutes)
3. Socratic Discussion on theme (3o minutes)

Finish the book for class on Friday, April 25th

Here is a link to an excellent documentary on the Huck Finn controversy in recent history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySw-lVKgHQw  There are six parts.  I am not sure if there will be time to view this in class, but I would like you to try to watch as much of it as you can before the 25th.  I think you will find it compelling.
