Today, we discussed the questions you were addressing for the essay "A Modest Proposal". I explained that you had to flip the question into the answer. I then read the paragraph at the bottom of page four and the top of page five in order to show them when Swift switches from his shocking solution to giving forth possible solutions. As students were still confused (and hadn't highlighted and defined unknown words), I instructed them to rewrite that paragraph in modern language. This was an in-class activity which I gave students (in pairs) 20 minutes to complete.
We then discussed the questions again. They will be due for tomorrow.
