False Gold: January 12, 2018

Focus: What is the function of the battle royal in Invisible Man?

1. Warming up with Academic Character reminders and goals

2. Collecting objects from the Prologue and Chapter 1

  • Skim through the Prologue and Chapter 1 and make a quick list of important objects.
  • Jot down (or highlight) an intriguing quotation to describe each one.
  • With a partner, try to find connections between the objects...what do they have in common? Can you find any connections between these objects and the stereotypes from Ethnic Notions?

3. Enjoying our first Socratic seminar of 2018: The Prologue and Chapter 1 of Invisible Man

4. Wrapping up with kudos, epiphanies, and lingering questions

HW:
1. For Wednesday, please read Chapters 2, 3, and 4 in Invisible Man and create a reading ticket. Even though it's Wednesday, we will be having a Socratic since we don't have school on Monday. It's 70 pages; I recommend spending three nights on it (one chapter a night).

 2. For Friday, please read Chapters 5 and 6 and create a reading ticket for Socratic.

 3. Peruse Academic Vocabulary, Unit 1; we will have our first assessment next Wednesday.
