NY Landscapes: December 2, 2019

Focus: What role does the New York landscape play in this part of the novel?

1. Warming up with three good things

2. Exploring the overview of the final exam and a map of NY's boroughs, and image of Central Park, and a virtual tour of the Empire State building

The Boroughs

Central Park

Making Predictions:

• Why might Foer include a chapter about an imaginary 6th borough?

• What might the Empire State Building symbolize in the story?

3. Reading ELIC, pages 208-259; tomorrow's leaders may use this time to prepare; I will continue Notebook Check #3

HW:
1. For TUESDAY: Read and journal through page 259; leaders should prepare their syllabus.

2. HEADS UP: All make-up work, including fishbowl blogs, notebooks, essay revisions, and any other graded assignments from the past 12 weeks must be submitted no later than Wednesday, December 11. After this date, I will not be able to accept any previous work from the semester.
