Tonight's Activity

Tonight's activity is to be posted on your blog in 200-300 words:

Describe a situation from a television show or movie in which the main character's feelings about a friend or relative cause the character to worry or feel anxious. Write about how the character resolves the conflict:

• by choosing "blindness" (pretending there is no problem)

OR

• by confronting the problem with his or her "eyes open" and addressing the issue.

Then write about whether you think the character made the right decision.

***Don't forget to bring your final drafts to class tomorrow!!!!
