Honors 11 Tuesday, May 15

Here's what we did in class--

Finish presentations on "As a Man Thinketh"-

Have students read pages 141-152 from their purple lit books- they will be reading "The Pardoner’s Tale"

After reading and understanding the text, have them answer questions 1-8 on page 152-have them write these answers in great detail- backing up their ideas with support—collect these in three days (for the next three days, students will be reading a text from this book. I’ll collect all questions at the same time to keep it more simple and organized. Even if they work in groups, which I encourage, they still have to each write their own answers.

When there are about twenty minutes left, have students complete an in-class free-write using the following prompt:

“Do you think money is the root of all evil? Is it that black and white? Either way, defend your answer with evidence from both the world and texts we’ve studied this year in class.”
