Friday, November 17

English 12A: We heard more great This I Believe essays from your classmates. Prepare for the final exam. The review guide is on Canvas. Additionally, another extra credit opportunity has been posted on Canvas related to the books we have read this trimester and the Tao te Ching.

CNF: Today we began watching the film Buck in an effort to address the following questions:
1. In Freakonomics, Dubner and Leavitt assert "it's not so much what a parent does but who a parent is that matters." How does Buck's story support this claim?

2. Paradoxically, in Freakonomics, Dubner and Leavitt describe the positive impact of adoptive parents in two separate studies. How does Buck's story support this (seemingly) contradictory claim?
