Looking Forward

1. Bring your independent reading books to class tomorrow
2. Thursday, you will have your illuminate exam in class (remember, you can't prepare for it)
3. Friday, you will have your writing prompt in class (the only thing you can do to prepare is review TIE)


*You should have both Douglass and your independent reading books in your bags with you this week, just in case you finish early

* While you are testing on Thursday and Friday, I will be checking your notebooks.  So please make sure that you are all up to date with both the "questions of the day" and your "independent reading" assignments.  (For those of you who did not finish today, you were supposed to explain who two audiences you think Douglass may be targeting when he wrote the book and why)

Tonight, please complete chapter 9 and on a sheet of paper, provide two different examples (with quotes) of irony in this chapter.

- Please remember the examples you provide should demonstrate ways in which the slave holders mis-used religion.

* I will be collecting this in class tomorrow

Moving Forward, you should plan to be finished with chapter 10 by Wednesday. My suggestion would be to 

Read pages 75-94 tonight

Read pages 95-125 tomorrow

On the blog you will see an assignment that should be turnin on turnitin.com by Wednesday.  It is as follows, 

Douglass prefaces his physical combat with Mr. Covey with the declaration: "You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man."

Many would argue that the climax of this narrative is when Douglass learns to read.  While others would argue that the climax is when he fights Mr. Covey in chapter 10.

First, explain why BOTH of these events are important. Then evaluate which event you think is actually  the climax and why.  In your response make sure that you include a rebuttal (many would argue that _________ is the climax.  However, _________ is a more suitable because....).  

You response should...

1. Be double spaced

2. Have a heading

3. Be no shorter than a page, but no longer than two

4. Use at least two quotes with proper citations (Douglass page ) 

* This will count as a quiz grade.  

Please make sure that you have completed chapters 7 and 8 in Douglass

AND

Complete the assignment on Google Classroom - this should be turned in by 11:59 pm on Sunday

Please study for tomorrow's exam on Douglass (chapters 1-7)

1. According to Douglass and Mr. Auld, keeping slaves illiterate allow the slave holders to keep them enslaved. What evidence do they give to support this claim?

2. What is the apparent difference between slaves in the country- side vs. slaves in the city?


Please make sure that you use TIE when incorporating the quotes AND remember to cite properly

1. At the beginning of the novel, Katrina dies and Kira is left homeless. Kira is fearful, especially when Vandara, a vicious and angry woman, tells her that she is worthless. Discuss the strength Kira displays when she faces the Council of Guardians. How does Kira show strength and courage throughout the novel?

2. Discuss the way children are treated in Kira’s society. What is the difference between abuse and neglect? How is Matt both abused and neglected? What is his role in the story? How does Matt contribute to Kira’s growth as a person and an artist?

3. Vandara is known throughout the village. “People whispered about her. She was known, and respected. Or feared.” (p. 15) How can someone who is feared be respected? Discuss whether the women of the village fear Vandara more than they respect her. How do you know that they don’t really agree with Vandara regarding Kira’s fate?

3. What qualities determine the difference between skill and art? Debate whether Katrina was a skilled weaver or an artist. At what point in the novel does Kira display the true qualities of an artist?

4. Why is the history of the people called the Ruin Song? The scenes on the Singer’s Robe represent Ruin, Rebuilding, Ruin Again, andRegrowth. How does this symbolize the history of our world?

5. Kira has always been told that beasts killed her father. When Kira tells Jamison that Annabella says there are no beasts, he replies, “She’s very old. It’s dangerous for her to speak that way.” (p. 128) Do you think Annabella knows the truth about Kira’s father? Discuss whether Jamison is responsible for Annabella’s death.

6. Matt is concerned that Kira might be held captive at the Council Edifice. How is it that he has a better understanding of the meaning of captivity than Kira does? Debate whether Kira and Thomas, the young carver, are indeed held captive even though they are allowed to roam. At what point does Kira realize that she isn’t really free?

7. What do Kira, Thomas, and Jo have in common? Interpret the following statement: “They were forcing the children to describe the future they wanted, not the one that could be.” (p. 212)

8. At the end of the novel, Matt brings Christopher, Kira’s blind father, to meet her. How does meeting her father alter Kira’s concept of her purpose in life and her contribution to her society’s future?
