We paired up and read and role played "What the Defense-Plant Worker Said" yesterday. One student was the reader, and was asked to read the poem, considering appropriate voice and tone, given the subject matter. The other student was responsible for creating questions to ask "the defense-plant worker". Once the reader finished reading the poem, the questioner began asking questions. The reader then role played as the defense-plant worker, and we explored why someone might hold a morally reprehensible job.
Students were then asked to respond personally, in writing, to the poem. I will take these home this weekend to read and give feedback.
We concluded with some work time for projects. A reminder that Voice of the Mind entries are due on Thursday January 31st.
