Assignment
Cam responded to writing prompts, albeit verbally. When asked what the bravest thing he ever did was, he replied that he had to unhook an alligator after his friend hooked it. We actually contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Committee and left a message; however, they never replied back - which we both found unusual. Cam explained he has three jobs this summer and will be very busy. He has an internship at a sports card memorabilia store, a film editing internship at a fishing company, and his own company!

Review

We researched it and read a bit about the play, its characters, and a review. We also listened to a part of the song, "Far Away from Tulsa," which is where the action in the novel took place. Cam was also prompted to give a succinct description of the main characters and to write it as if he were asked to write a review for a publication.
