Journal: Compare or contrast what life was like for you before the Coronavirus to what it is like now. You can make lists of similarities and differences, or you can write two paragraphs.

"Two View of the Mississippi  
In this story, Twain compares how he viewed the river when he was younger and then when he was older.  He contrasts his young/old views in paragraphs 2 and 3. 

Write: Due: Friday, March 20 -- People of different ages sometimes see things differently. Write (one page) about ONE attitude (toward school/education, technology, television, video games, work, religion, sports, the law, and so forth) that you think is different for people who are older (parents' age). If you can, talk to one or two of your peers as well as your parents to see if your understanding of the difference is accurate. Write one page using the block compare-contrast format. In other words, put your (and your peers) description of your attitude in the first paragraph and the adults' attitudes of the same thing in the second paragraph.

Say your block compare and contrast is about technology. In the block method, describe your opinions about technology. In the second body paragraph, describe your parents' opinion. Should have an introduction and conclusion as well.
