Today's handout was the full study guide for Watership Down. The reading schedule, leader assignments, and all study guides are in there. Margot was our leader for the day.
IN CLASS TODAY:
We went over the first 5 words of vocabulary in Unit 3 of the vocabulary book.We discussed pages 45-70.
We started making more overt connections to our own behavior as a group and that of the Watership Down rabbits. Please see class notes for assessments of the novel.
Please consider:
- You are annoyed by Fiver's unwillingness to go along with the group when it is clear that the group is headed in a particular direction. You fault him for having a bad attitude or simply not pulling his weight. To what extent do you contribute to the class dynamic? Are you a Hazel, a Bigwig, a Fiver or Pipkin?
- What help do leaders need to be successful? Are you providing it?
- What traits must a leader exhibit to find success?
- What common goals are the rabbits working toward?
- What common goals should WE be working toward?
CLASS NOTES:
Notes for today's class may be found here.
HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
1. Read 71-92 in the book and be prepared for class by doing the study guide.
2. Claire will be our next leader.
Leaders are not required to use the study guide as the basis of their activities. They may come up with other activities and questions. However, leaders should be able to rely on the fact that everyone will be as prepared as possible with the help of the studyguide.
