May 3, 2016

IRT: ~15 minutes
WNB: Article of the Week - "Chaos in Cleveland?"

We completed Session 1 of our Retellings unit. Students finished reading Bowen's "The Demon Lover" and discussed the characters and sequence of events with a partner. Then we created a document with the sequence of events from the story and information about the characters. We also created a list of questions that we have about the story. Session 1 notes are available on Classroom.


We began Session 2 of the unit. Students reread Bowen's "The Demon Lover" and focused on moments that seem significant to understanding young Kathleen and her relationship with the soldier. Students then discussed their findings and constructed an oral portrait of young Kathleen, examining her relationship with the soldier and what attracts her to him. We added more details to our character descriptions and eliminated questions that we uncovered the answers to. Session 2 notes are available on Classroom.

Tomorrow, we will add more details to our character descriptions, eliminate questions that we uncovered the answers to, examine the story's structure, and get into some interpretations of our own.
