February 7th:
Sorry I'm not there today! I'm home with a sick little one. Thank you for yesterday. I think it's very important to speak with people face to face sometimes, rather than reading about an experience and thinking we understand what it must be like. Connection is key.
Here is what I need you to do today (3 things):
1) Take this quiz over the final chapters of the novel. Click this link: https://goo.gl/forms/cv5ataLmOygvhZBA2
2) Finish your Major Works Data Sheet for the novel and submit to the substitute.
3) Create at least one discussion question per chapter from ch. 20-25. The question can be character driven (i.e. Why does Amir feel at peace when being beaten by Assef? How is this a turning point for Amir), plot driven (i.e. What is the significance of Amir's dream of fighting the bear? Why is this important in terms of the primary conflict of the novel?), or text driven (i.e. Omar says "If America taught me anything, it's that quitting is right up there with pissing in the Girl Scouts' lemonade jar." What is the significance of this statement in the novel?).
4) Once you compose this questions, share them with me via Google Docs. Make sure your name is on the document. My email is [email protected]
