Wed. Nov. 4, 2015: Of Mice and Men Introduction Cont.

Today, we reviewed the Great Depression. I read some short anecdotes about the conditions in Canada as far as trying to survive went. I then handed out the article "Canada Hardest Hit" which students actively read in-class. If you were not here, it is in your portfolio. I then handed out a synopsis of the story and a biography about John Steinbeck (we read it as a class) and a sheet on the idioms you will read in Chapter One (some are the same as they are today: for example, in hot water). You are to have this read for tomorrow. You are also to bring the book to tomorrow's class.
