1st trimester – Day 30 - Parent teacher conferences (3:30 – 5:30 p.m.)

Collect homework: symbolism chart

WARMUP: Using your book, list all the events that happened in the last half-hour of Doodle’s life (beginning on page 342 “As soon as I had finished eating…” until the end of the story)

Discussed the ending of “The Scarlet Ibis” – what happened? Is it the narrator’s fault?
·         How specifically did Doodle die?
o   What do we know for sure?
·         How do we know he didn’t die by lightning? A fallen tree?
·         Is his death the narrator’s fault?

  1. In groups, we listed 20 events total that happened in the story that would help convict both Doodle’s brother and his parents of a guilty of murder verdict (10 each)
  2. After reviewing our “guilty verdict” points and in our same groups, we listed 20 events that happened in the story that would help convict both Doodle’s brother and his parents of a NOT GUILTY of murder verdict (10 events for each)

(Was it easier to prove them guilty or not guilty?)

Homework:

“The Scarlet Ibis” take-home, open book test packet due Friday

Study for Friday’s vocabulary test - affixes - Unit 3 – ben, bene; bi-, bin-, bis-; etc.
