Today's handout was the full study guide for Watership Down. The reading schedule, leader assignments, and all study guides are in there. Alex was our leader for the day.
We discussed pages 22-44.
Those who were unprepared (I know, lots of tests today), be aware of your effect on the dynamic.
CLASS NOTES:
Notes for today's class may be found here.
1. Read 45-70
2. Your homework for the weekend is a journal: Type a 12-sentence paragraph that answers either of the questions: Is Hazel a good leader? Or, is Fiver a good team member? You should type and double space it, edit carefully, use MLA format, and be prepared to hand it in. Remember, check for use of literary present tense, and any other issues peculiar to your writing. If you have questions, see me or contact me via email.
3. Your completed homework will form the basis for our discussion in the next class, where we will focus on what it means to be a good leader and a good follower. (You yourselves are trying to form a better team in discussing this book!) First, let’s review the first 75 pages and cite specific examples of the following:
a. Good teamwork
b. Good leadership
c. Challenges to both
d. Ways those challenges are addressed
3. Please write your own question Margo will be our next leader.
