Now the students are working on understanding the article. Each group will present about a page; first group on vocab and info about the author.

In a way the article is weak as a narrative; by extension the whole narrative project is called into question. On a personal note, all that narrative info I have used over the years now seems unimportant.

Depressing what we learn... even as teachers. I guess it goes back to Socrates who said, "The wise man is the one who knows what he does not know." To end on a more positive note, with another quote by Socrates, "The unexamined life is not the life for a person."
