A Tale of Two Cities - Day 7

Happy Wednesday! Happy Valentine's Day!

Today we will listen to the last chapter in book 1 - chapter 6, "The Shoemaker"

Before that you will have some time to meet with your group to review a few questions from chapters 4 and 5, using the sheet from yesterday.

Tonight there is no reading homework, but there is a written journal response. It needs to be approximately one page, uploaded to turnitin.com before the start of class. Here are the guidelines:

  • Questions to consider: 
    • What key ideas have you noticed? What is most striking about the setting or characters
    • Is there a particular scene you find important? Why? 
    • Is there a particular character that has drawn your interest? Why? 
    • Are there any symbols or themes that you find striking? Explore your interpretation of it/them. 

  • Traits of a strong journal response: 
    • Lead with your ideas / Don’t summarize the plot 
    • Use multiple quotes 
    • Explain how the quotes connect to your ideas 
    • Make connections to larger ideas and the world around us 
  • Be ready to share your work, both out loud and in writing
Ch. 5
