Into The Wild -- Ch. 1-2

Good Morning!

NOTE:  Please have your cell phones completely out of sight until you leave this class at the end of the period.  

*NOTE:  You have selected your independent reading book for this second grading period and you have it with you each day.  There will be an assignment from your independent reading on Monday.

*Into The Wild  -- the author's note introduces some themes of the book ("the grip wilderness has on the American imagination, the allure high-risk activities hold for men of a certain mind, the complicated, highly charged bond that exists between father and sons.")  We will be considering the following four questions as we read the text:
  *Should we admire McCandless for his courage and noble ideas?
  *Was he a reckless idiot?
  *Was he crazy?
  *Was he an arrogant and stupid narcissist?

*Discussion of Chapters 1-2 which you have responded to.

*Vocabulary -- record and define words as you read.  I have started the list for you. Record the page number. 

HOMEWORK: Have your independent reading book on Monday.
