Students took their final Red Sky at Morning quiz; band members may take the quiz on Monday during my office hours. Students read Chinua Achebe's "Marriage Is a Private Affair," and answered questions 7-9 at the end of the story, and the short constructed response on page 997.

We made a few parting comments about Josh's coming of age at the end of the novel. In preparation for Jhumpa Lahiri's short story, I showed students two clips from the Bollywood film Jhoda Akbar, to show some differences in culture--especially the benign view of arranged marriage. I handed out copies of the story, and we read and discussed the beginning aloud.
