for your MOM: The word elect means to select or decide. What will you elect to think about during these 60 seconds?

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Gimme Some Truth" by John Lennon; "Rise Above" by Black Flag]

It seems like the election is on everyone's minds today. What do you think the presidential election says about our country? What do you want to see happen this week? (OPTION: since today's topic is about public democracy, feel free to answer the question in a comment to this post instead of writing in your notebook.)

-OR- 

Choose your own topic.

AGENDA:

1. Journal
2. Spend >15 minutes reading your Literature Analysis book - don't procrastinate! If you finish your book and/or feel ready to start answering the questions, do that too. Finishing before 11/20 means: a) one less thing for you to worry about, and/or b) if you like the process, you can pick a next book and help your grade.
