After that, students took notes on types of irony and we looked at a couple different examples in the media. We then read the article "Doin Time"; students got into groups to discuss corresponding questions about the article, motivations for committing crimes, and stereotypes of criminals. We then read the short story"Thank You Ma'am" and started working on a writing assignment associated with the story.
Reminders:
- "Thank You Ma'am" questions: due next class
