The Atomic Bomb / All My Sons

Greetings! Happy Friday! It was great to see so many of you on the zoom calls yesterday. We for sure need to have either a bake-off or at least an American Studies cookbook! Here is the plan for today - feel free to work with a partner for any of it.

1. Make a copy of this document: Values in a Time of War. It takes you through a series of short writing prompts and videos, leading to some short talks about the dropping of the Atom Bomb. When you are finished, submit your work to Schoology.
2. Review Act I of All My Sons. You can do this in a number of different ways.
1. You can review your work from this study guide we did in class. Some of you turned this in and some of you took it home to complete it. You do not need to submit a completed version of it. However, if you do want to see yours, please email Mr. Rigler and he will send you pictures/scans of it.
2. You can re-read the text itself.
3. You can watch Act I of the play from this video. It is a great production and the play directly follows the book. The one exception is a short opening scene that actually gets referred to in the play but does not appear as its own scene. You may even want to follow along in the book as you watch. Act I takes about 52 minutes to watch. (You will be watching the rest on Monday, so if you just want to watch the whole thing, you certainly can.)
4. There is nothing to turn in from this review work.

That's it for today! 

The weather looks like it will be nice - hopefully, you can get outside for a little bit! 

See you next week!
