Thurs, March 15

In class, students completed a journal entry on the following prompt:
"A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he is not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player before returning the ball stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis. You must act as you breathe." -Georges Clemenceau

Is is true that acting quickly and instinctively is the best response to a crisis? Or are there times when an urgent situation requires a more careful consideration and a slower response? Plan your response, and then write an essay.

On Monday, we will begin a unit reading and analyzing short stories. The stories will be posted to this blog on Monday for access if you are traveling. Check back then.
