Students worked in small groups to try to untangle the meaning of 2001, especially the final section. We then heard reports from the small groups in the full class, and discussed them.
After that, we used the Everybody Reads period to watch "To Jupiter and Beyond" again and postponed Everybody Reads until Friday.
