We started today's class with the set 10 roots and prefixes quiz. Following this, we had a Socratic seminar discussion on The Road based on the prep sheets that people completed for homework.
At the end of class, I handed out motif paragraph sheets for people to complete on a motif through to the end of the book. People can track the same motif on which they were focused in the first part of the book, or they can choose to follow a different motif that they feel will be more interesting.
Handouts:
Motifs in The Road
Homework:
Identify a motif in The Road to analyze and analyze McCarthy's use of that motif in a paragraph of writing. Your paragraph should also feature smooth transitions between ideas and integration of quotes with your ideas.
