Upcoming Assignments What does belonging mean to you? Due Wednesday, September 14 Select a line, quotation, music lyric or photograph that best expresses the idea of belonging. Write in your journal why you believe it is the best example of the idea of belonging. Example: “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald I chose this quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald it is saying that all people have much in common and, therefore, belong to the human race. In this quote, Fitzgerald is saying that, through reading, people learn that they are not strange or odd. The things they want are the things other people want. People learn that have things in common with others, that others think the same things they do, and that all people have the same basic wants and needs. Note: This assignment is not meant to take a great deal of time (perhaps 10-15 minutes--some students have already finished). I have only given an extended amount of time so students can have time to think about their choices and to give those who do not have access to computers at home an opportunity to use the school computers during FLEX lunch Monday and Tuesday, if they so desire. Whatif Poems "Whatif" Poems due Friday, September 2!
