How does the change in setting affect the plot of My Ántonia?
Objective: Students will identify textual details that connect a piece of literature and its historical setting.
1. We completed vocabulary cards for deference and paucity.
2. Language Lab #25
3. Several students took their turns leading the class in discussion about their My Ántonia reading responses.
4. We drew questions for response assignment #5 and discussed how the next reading assignment in My Ántonia will bring a change in setting and many accompanying changes in the plot.
5. We each annotated one of three pages of background information about the historical setting to My Ántonia, noting any connections we found to the novel.
For next time: Read pages 93-116 of My Ántonia and complete reading response assignment #5.
