The End

This weekend you will read the rest of Nectar in a Sieve. You also must answer the 6 questions on the blue sheet about the Coleridge poem.

We took a quiz in class. Then, we worked on "I Have, Who Has?" We need some serious work on that--Roehl's and Tholen's classes are really making us look bad (I think they're cheating). We also showcased the blogs of a couple students.

Enjoy the end of the book!

OH, and don't forget to read/blog. The theme for this post is religion/spirituality/belief/non-belief. Here's an article that works for the assigned theme--and it's about Hinduism, India, and the U.S.

Back to the Village...

Today we discussed the book (after we took a quiz). When we left them at the end of last night's reading, Ruku and Nathan were headed back to their village. Read pp. 165-176 tonight to find out what happens to them...

Also, 3rd hour students should be looking for 4 examples of your theme concept to put in your blue charts. I expect to see completed charts tomorrow.

Analyzing Nectar

Today we reviewed last night's reading and worked on some analysis questions.

Homework: Read pp. 150-164...and don't forget to blog.

Tonight's blog is supposed to discuss gender roles/gender issues. Certainly any text you are currently reading has some aspect of gender to discuss. But, if you want an article to read, check out this article about the treatment of women in immigration detention centers.

First Raja, then Kuti, now Old Granny...

Today in class we took a quiz, added two boxes to our flow maps (and in the process, discussed the reading), and then spent some time examining the vocabulary words. The homework for tomorrow is to read pp. 124-149.
