JOURNAL TOPIC:
Faber tells Montag that it's not books themselves that are important, but the ideas that books contain and symbolize.  Specifically, beginning on p.83, Faber says that "three things are missing" from the society they live in.  What are these three things?  Do we have them, or are we missing them too?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. "Dover Beach" performance/progress report
3. pp. 90-100

HW:
1. Continue working on "Dover Beach"
2. Prepare for reading quiz on pp. 80-100
3. A special vocabulary deal: if you commented to yesterday's post (or did the assignment on paper), you clarified which words you needed to learn about-- so do it.  All you have to do this week is post definitions/sentences for the words you selected to your course blog (or write them on paper and post to your blog in the lab on Friday).  If you didn't comment to yesterday's post (and you didn't do the assignment on paper), I take it to mean that all of the words in the book are familiar to you, so you should be prepared to recognize/define/use every single word we've read on Thursday's quiz.
