11/10/15 - CHULA VISTA ONLY11/12/2015 In today's class, we began by going over the news article from last class. We watched a couple short videos on the news story to begin. They are located at the bottom of this webpage: http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/daily-news-article/u-s-to-deploy-special-forces-to-syria-in-about-face-for-obama/ We then went over some of the homework questions, and I then collected your homework. Next, I introduced the first step of our character analysis essay assignment for The Pearl. This first step is to collect textual evidence (quotes and passages from the novel) that you will eventually use in your essay to support your claims. This in-class assignment is attached below. I will give you more time to finish this assignment next class. There is no homework, as tomorrow is Veterans Day.
11/5/15 - 11/6/1511/12/2015 We began today's class with a discussion of the questions for chapters 5 and 6 of The Pearl. After the discussion, I collected this assignment. Next, we watched the last 20 minutes of the 1948 film version of the novel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUSf9M0PZ8g Then, we wrote about and discussed the ending of story. The writing and discussion prompts were as follows: What did you think of the ending of The Pearl? Why do you think Steinbeck ended the book that way? How was the film similar to and different from the novel? We discussed student responses to these questions, and then I handed out your homework. It consists of a news article with some response questions. It is attached below.
