Today in class (4th period - 3rd period was at Operation Prom), we started reading Friday Night Lights. I read aloud most of the first chapter, and I asked you to finish that chapter and read the 2nd chapter. As you read, think about how the narrative - particularly with all of its focus on the miserable history of Odessa - begins to make a case for the importance of football to the citizens of the town.
Also, you have three film reviews to read regarding There Will Be Blood:
from The New York Times
by Roger Ebert (of The Chicago Sun-Times)
and by blogger Jeffery Overstreet
By Monday, please have all of this material read! (There will be an extra credit opportunity for Friday Night Lights and a quiz on the film reviews!)
