Homework
Hello,
I trust you worked hard and had a lot of fun in my absence. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there today but I cannot very well tell you to make healthy choices and then come to class sick myself.
Today in class you should have read chapter 3 of Hiroshima. If you didn't finish the chapter or the chapter questions, please have it finished by class time tomorrow.
We might not have a classroom tomorrow, so be prepared and patient. In other physical classroom news, remember there is NO FOOD ALLOWED in the library at all. This includes and is especially important for any classroom we are in. If we want to continue being treated like young professionals dedicated to our future(s), we must continue to act like young professionals who are able to understand and abide by the rules.
Your homework for the remainder of the evening is as follows:
11. What did the emperor do that Mr. Tanimoto called a "wonderful blessing?"
See you tomorrow,
Ms. Betsy
