*I began this unit with a sub, home sick with sick babies. It did not go as well as I’d hoped, which is a shame. I was REALLY looking forward to it. We did read the following in addition to excerpts from Gulliver’s Travels and watching the movie. Any fabulous suggestions for next year!?
http://www.tnellen.com/06iths/spring/youth.html Mark Twain’s “Advice to Youth” (1882)
(Might be fun to contrast Twain to this article from The Onion: “Majority of Parents Abuse Children, Children Report“)
http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” (1729)
“Rockstar” by Nickleback (PG 13 song? hmmm…)
