Activities & Assignments
PP: Discovering voice
The class will begin with a read aloud of chapters 17 and 18’s most pertinent parts. We will conduct a short discussion of Godfrey and Silas’ growth, revisiting the one pager diagrams we created last week. Godfrey in particular will be our focus as he comes to terms with his past.
The instructor will write a famous quote on the board about Karma and students will respond with their own experiences. From here we will shift our focus on Nancy and her attitude toward adoption. The instructor will read aloud sections from her perspective and the class will condense her ideas into a simple two sentences. From here we will write letters to Nancy either supporting her position or encouraging her to reconsider.
