Today in class, you took a quiz on Chapters 10 and 11, and then you worked in class on the Epilogue of In the Time of the Butterflies. Next week, we'll be finishing up the text!
Here's a brief overview of what will happen:
On Monday and Tuesday, we'll discuss the text as a whole. We'll use a taxonomy to brainstorm topics and themes. We'll also go back to the anticipation guide we used at the beginning of this unit, as well as the word inquisition. How did our study enhance your understanding of solidarity? Of subversives? Of bigotry? Of torture? What does Alvarez's text say about these topics?
In the back half of Tuesday's class, I'll divide you into groups to plan your essays on the text. I'll also provide an example of how to generate a theme statement.
On Wednesday, you'll complete your essays.
Thursday and Friday, we're on to a new unit! Stay tuned!
