Reflective Reading • “They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don't know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn to them. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the preWorld War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about.” ― Colleen Moore at http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/1920s Agenda • Journal Activity (10 minutes) • Pictionary with thumbnail sketches of vocabulary words (10 minutes) • Counselor Visit (20 minutes) • Writing Rubric distributed for Socratic Seminar Essay rewrite (due 1/21…note date revision) Wednesday, January 15 Directions: Complete the following in your JOURNAL. 1.
