Homework: AIR
Homework: AIR discussion Monday. The quarter ends 11/7. Please pace your reading accordingly.
Homework (Writing Section): - Select one example where the narrator’s “code of morals” (p. 172) is challenged, and explain its context and its impact on the narrator. Include one to three unit vocabulary words in your response. Underline or highlight these words in your writing. - Be sure to bring your AIR book to class tomorrow. Today's discussion questions:
1. What language does Hundert use to describe Sedgewick after the confrontation around Sedgewick’s cheating? What do these words tell you about Sedgewick? 2. How does the description of Sedgewick’s “feline smile” on page 171 contribute to Hundert’s analysis of Sedgewick’s character? 3. Describe Hundert’s "code of morals" versus Sedgewick’s. 4. What sorts of words does the author use to describe the external and internal challenges to Hundert’s “code of morals” (p. 172)? 5. How can Sedgewick’s cheating help you understand the definition of waned (p. 172)? How does the use of this word inform your understanding of Hundert? 6. What does the reflection “no sooner had I resolved to confront the Senator than it became perfectly clear to me that I lacked the character to do so” (p. 173) reveal about Hundert’s character? 7. In the wake of Hundert’s conversation with the Senator, what do his actions reveal about his character versus the character of Sedgewick and the Senator?
Homework: Respond in writing - How do the narrator's actions further develop and refine a central idea of the text? Be sure that you have: - At least 3/4 boxes on the Analyzing Motivations Tool completed - At least 3 sentences of today's Quick Write completed - A well-developed response to the homework question on the same sheet of paper as today's quick write in the writing section of your binder.
