Today we completed an anticipation guide for Things Fall Apart. In the notebook, students indicated agreement or disagreement with five statements, and then provided a brief explanation of why. The five statements are:
•Polygamy is acceptable in 2009
•In order for societies to be successful they need to be patriarchal
•The norms and mores of other cultures (not your own) should be respected.
•Africa is mostly primitive and therefore we should help them become more modern.
•The United States should work to end tribal rituals like female genital mutilation.
Then, I distributed books and we began reading.
Homework: Read pp. 3-35
**Also, I collected vocab cards today. If you were absent, please turn in your Butterflies and/or Lear books tomorrow.
