-read "DB Cooper" (p. 120)

Thursday
-short day because of mass
-will finish questions on "DB Cooper"

Friday
-Unsolved Mysteries - Whatever happened to DB Cooper?

4U1
-analysed the first part of "Sojourners"
-homework - 3 questions on the last two parts

Some hints:

Part one ends with "shrimp in toes and terns in hair" and then part two discusses whether people are just sojourners on planet Earth; part two ends with "I fancy to imagine another" (another what?) and then discusses whether the planet Eart is a sojourner.

In part two much of the discussion focusses on why we are here? Not so much on whether we literally travel, but why are we here (on Earth) for such a temporary visit?

Notice the structure - the movement form small to large is a classic writing technique

Thursday

Friday
