JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Earl Scruggs]
Sometimes
when we start a book it's easy to get impatient with all the background
information the author gives (on places, characters etc.) before
something actually happens. Why do we get all of this stuff first? How
does it help to know these things when the action starts and the plot
gets going? What would we miss if Les Miserables started with a chase scene?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Les Mis
3. Socratic Seminar
POST:
Do you think Fantine made good decisions? What about Jean Valjean? To what extent are we responsible for our choices, and to what extent are we influenced by society, desire, peer pressure, parental expectation, and other social forces? (title: DECISIONS DECISIONS)
thank you
As often as I say it, I feel like I don't say it often enough: Thank You. Thank you for your effort, your insight, your willingness...
