Friday - Essay Prep!

1) Using your book and study guide, prepare to answer an essay question about each of the following topics. I'd recommend finding quotes about each topic as well as coming up with main ideas for each.

-discuss Charlie's trait of being superstitious
-examples of things Charlie does that show he is a genius after the operation
-how does Charlie's understanding of his past (after the operation) causes him to feel sad or ashamed
-was Charlie happier/better off when he was less intelligent before he had the operation or when he was more intelligent after the  operation? Explain with examples.

You may write as much down about these essays as you want on the notecard given to you (front and back) and you may use it during the quiz on Monday. 

2) study vocabulary! Quizlet link is below.

3) Read your AR book or take a quiz.
