Today we shared notes about the different kinds of conflict in Marriage is a Private Affair. Also, we watched the cartoon Fast and Furyous (you can find this on Youtube) and discussed conflict and subplot.  We connected the idea of subplot to the realization that there is a subplot in Marriage is a Private Affair, writing in your notebook why this subplot is in the story.
