Hi All,
No doubt you're all reading this from your cellphones on a beach in Maui. Or maybe not. Wherever you are, I hope your summer is going well (note use of present tense -- it's not over yet!!). Before we get into the thick of the term, I wanted to start an "ideas thread" for English Club activities this fall. It's up to all of you, of course (as always), so think what you'd like to do and pitch in. You can do things that worked well last year, or try something entirely new. Activities can as easy as a lunchtime chat or as ambitious as theater trips, guest talks, or debates on hot topics. Anything goes, so let's generate some ideas. And let's hear from new voices as well as old. If in the past you haven't seen the activity you'd like to see, it's because you didn't suggest it and make it happen! Come one, come all. Ask not what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club.
Your faithful club advisor.
HH
The other thread is getting a little long, so I'm going to transfer the last few posts on the Movies thread to a new one before it gets spammed out. Dr. Cautrell raised some interesting questions about the upcoming World Trade Center movie; I'm sure they'll be lots to say about it.
Also, we can use this thread to continue the conversation about our summer reading and movie-going adventures...
