ELA B30: May 26 Question discussions / blog assignment…

  1. Mini reports were handed out to students along with any marked assignments to return. (These were ready for them last week, but the sub unfortunately didn’t realize to hand them out.)
  2. We reviewed the short story “The Inheritor” and looked at the mental stages the three characters, the man, the dingo, and the ewe, all go through as the story progresses. The man obvious had many more steps to his thought process. In the end, the dingo has the higher ground, not the man, meaning the dog had control over the situation by his animal instinct, even though the man should have been able to outsmart him by using his rational thought process. The man is described at the end of the story, also, as a “wild-looking man” so readers can question whether he had his human reasoning skills throughout or whether he fell into animal instincts in the end. We discussed the questions for this story with different students contributing their responses.
  3. Students were also given an article titled “The Next Generation” to read. There were no questions given with this except three question prompts to get them thinking. Students have to read the article and, by the end of the week, create a blog entry in response to it. For their blog entry, they have to do as before, include a blog post, a comment on someone else’s blog, a link and video. This is under our sub-unit that is looking at social responsibility and individuals. Keep that in mind when responding with your blog entry.
  4. Tomorrow, we’ll move on to new literature. Some students will be missing Wednesday for track so they’ll have to plan to play catch-up when they return on Thursday.
