First: movie night is still on for tonight at 10 pm. We will meet at Calle 58, N° 819, entre 11 y 12, Depto 6A.

Second: Charly´s Paro Plan
After talking with two of my discussion sections today, I have decided that in the case there is a teacher work stoppage (paro de docentes), as there was today, we will not have class and we will not take attendance. Instead, any students who are interested can meet outside of our normal classroom, and from there we will walk over to the Cafe de Artes (or whatever it´s called- you know, that big cafe a block away from the Facultad that used to be a gallery) and we will have an optional English discussion in place of our normal class.
If and when Kristal and I find out about another paro, we will do our best to let you know when it is so that you can plan ahead a little.
-------------------------------------------------------
Third: Class materials. Some of you have requested that I post some of the worksheets from class on our website. Well, here they are (look under ´comments´ for the education quotations).
Here you can find the Ignorance is bliss article we discussed relating to Flowers for Algernon.
...It turns out that they made a Paulo Freire school in Arizona, in the U.S.
Feel free to click on ´comments´ and leave your own!
Until next time,
C.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. – Will Durant
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. – Winston Churchill
