Fun-filled Friday!

Blocks A&D:  We finished watching Dead Poet's Society in class.  Please complete your journal response for Monday if not finished in class.  Here are the instructions from the overhead:

Read the following quote by Professor John Keating from the movie Dead Poets Society:


We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.  We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.  And the human race is filled with passion.  And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.  But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.


Explain what you think the quote means.  Provide insight into your answer by fully exploring why you hold that opinion or point of view.


A thoughtful and insightful 200 words please!


In your response you may wish to include ideas or inspiration from life, your past experiences or from the movie as a whole.

Block B:  Review Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for Monday's video response activity.

Block C:  Please complete your current events for Monday.
