Wed and Thursday March 7

Not a lot of bodies in classes these days. Meh, I'm hoping everyone is there tomorrow.

As promised, here is the webquest for A Long Way Gone:

A Long Way Gone novel web quest

1.  Go to the Wikipedia page for this non-fiction novel. After doing a bit of poking around, what are five things you can tell me about Ismael Beah, the guy who wrote this?

2.  Go to the RUF Wikipedia page and write down a list of five things you learned about this group and what they did and are doing in Sierra Leone today.

3.  Are there any things that you don’t want to read about in this text? Why would you not want to read about those things?

4.  What does the term “Child soldier” mean, anyway? Are there still child soldiers in 2019?

5.  In an informal piece of writing of about 100 words, why, do you think, that Mr. Chesser would include this novel in the 11C courses this semester.

In class today we read to page 54. Tomorrow, we hand in the following and have  quiz:

Questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9

Vocab 1-25

Thanks to the many snow days and the school cancelled days, we'll do the Theme Study after break.
