Monday – SNOW DAY,
Tuesday/Wednesday - Begin class by reading silently. Today we will look at the five major themes within the book: slavery and racism, society and hypocrisy, religion and superstition, growing up, and freedom. After briefly discussing each, the students will be given an in-class assignment that will ask them to identify quotation from the book and put them under the correct theme. The students will work in pairs and then we will put the quotes together and discuss as a whole class. Exit slip: which theme has had the biggest impact on you? Explain. Watch movie, if time. HW - 34-37 due next class. Thursday – Students will list Huck Finn’s attitudes and behaviors that change during the novel. In small groups, students list the three most important developments in Huck as he matures and learns to take responsibility for his choices. As a whole class, list Huck’s Ten Commandments—beliefs he has come to understand as rules to live by. Discuss: Do these represent a genuine moral code that we should all embrace? Continue with the end of our viewing of the movie. Friday - Read for the first 15 minutes of class. Partner analysis questions from today's PowerPoint. Jim's journal entry. Share out in small groups and then as a full class. Continue on with the film. Finish the book for tomorrow! HW - Finish book for Monday.
