ELA 20: Dec 10 “The Broken Globe” discussions / questions…
- We finished reading through the story together and students did a “free write” for three minutes, just writing a personal response to one of four prompts offered as a reflection of the story.
- We discussed the questions, with everyone adding a contribution to our answers. We talked about the comparison of the father in this story to yesterday’s “Goalie” parent who felt helpless to do more to connect with his son.
- We read through the first of two poems we will be looking at. It was a quick read through but also follows the same line of thinking that young people can “anticipate” growing more independent and apart from their parents. This literature just gives a perspective from the parent’s point of view on that same stage of their child’s life.
