Big Idea: What does it mean to be human?
After today I should be able to:
Reading: You will read The Count of Monte Cristo over the next few weeks.
Agenda:
- Read for 15 minutes. You should be finished with chapter 23 by this Friday.
- Vocabulary word of the day.
- Caderousse and Morrel
- Create a line graph that shows the ups and downs of Caderousse and Morrel's life so far. Think of their as a scale of one to ten. When is life going well and when is life going poorly?
- Identify the high and low point for Caderousse. When does he seal his fate in the discussion with the priest?
- What is Morrel's lowest point? His highest point?
- Look for quotes about justice or revenge in chapter sixteen. Write one down with the page number.
- Using this digital copy of the novel, search for the word "purse." A red silk purse keeps showing up in the novel. Trace its path up to chapter 16. Who first had the purse? Where is the purse now?
Homework:
- Membean. It is due by Sunday at 9PM.
