I really liked the class activity we did 2day. I was able to obtain some significant qutoes and info. about this hero's journey!
I also enjoyed it. It really showed other people's perspectives and gave me more ideas for the heroes journey.
These are my notes 4 2day:
*Ch.1 The Dare, The Radley House- like a haunted house w/ a big monster in it, The Turtle Metaphor... "Lets try to make him come out"
*Ch.2 Scout learns from: Atticus, Cal, Mrs. Caroline, the letter... "You're starting off on the wrong foot in every way, my dear. Fold out your hand"
*Ch.3 Class: "He 'aint company Cal, he's just a Cunningham"
*Ch.4 Role play, Superstitionness: a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge (around Boo Radley)...
"I swear , Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl..." & "There was more to it..." (page 50)
*Ch.6 Jem looses pants
*Ch. 7 The Radley Tree, At this point we are seeing another side of Boo from Tire trip, Tree, Pants: laughter, caring, observant, watching
*Ch.8 It Snowed & Snowman: Racisim?, The Fire, Blanket, Cake
Thanks so much Lissy! for sharing your notes :)
