Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period 5
The classroom was still festively decorated for Halloween, but this time, Lorelai had boxes of Klondikes in a cooler in the front of the room.
“Afternoon, everyone,” she greeted with a grin. “After class last week, I was asked to explain a modern invention and I decided that, even though it doesn’t have anything to do with today’s lesson, I’d bring you all Klondike bars. They’re ice cream and chocolate and you can all help yourselves.”
After those who wanted them had taken the ice cream, she started in on her lecture.
“Last week we learned about fall and winter holidays, today we’re going to learn about spring and summer holidays.”
She explained the history and current traditions associated with Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and The 4th of July.
“Any questions?” she asked when she was done. “Before you go, I want to give you a homework assignment for next week. We’ll be starting our TV section and next week’s lesson will cover sitcoms. I want you all to try to catch an episode of a sitcom sometime between now and next class.”
