NCTE

This is a reminder for all that we plan to meet this Saturday 2:00 pm (food will be served) at my home to discuss/finalize our paired teaching. Meaning be reading the NCTE and also thinking about what you want to discuss/takeaway from the novel. Some of topics we discussed as being great learning lessons are/were:

Eating - the culture of it
Sensory - the smell (Mom's hair smells like bread), taste, feel of the novel
Imagery - the setting, symbolism, compairisons in the movel
Sexuality - the reference and sharp contrast between male & female in the novel
Color - color is used throughout the novel and is associated in many ways, we can connect this to Beach "Naming" for example.

Just a few thoughts and ideas and we can discuss it more on Saturday!
Hope all is well.
