ENGLISH - 1^st trimester – Day 35

 

Parent teacher conferences (3:30 – 5:30 p.m.)

 

Collect typed paragraph (or a PINK sheet if it isn’t typed) on Super Soaker article

 

WARMUP:

In a paragraph, explain who you think is most responsible for Doodle’s death.

 

Discussed the ending of “The Scarlet Ibis” – what happened?

·         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?

 

4 lists – 40 reasons total:

• List 10 events that happened in the story that would help convince a jury that…
• 1. Doodle’s older brother is responsible for the death of Doodle?
• 2. Doodle’s parents are responsible for the death of Doodle?
• 3. Doodle’s older brother is NOT responsible for the death of Doodle?
• 4. Doodle’s parents are NOT responsible for the death of Doodle?

 

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

 

On a whiteboard, create a movie poster or comic strip (with words, drawings, and symbols) that depicts the main events covered in “The Scarlet Ibis” pgs. 333 – 338
