Beloved Day 1

Learning Target:  I can read carefully and maturely, considering why an author includes selects specific content/details in order to create specific effects and tell a particular story.

Activity 1: Read and annotate Chapter 1 of Beloved.

Activity 2: Paraphrasing and writing discussion questions
(see the handouts)

HW: Finish reading chapter 1 and submit a paraphrase and discussion question to turnitin.com

Tomorrow's bellringer...(you will write this at the beginning of class tomorrow)

Answer the following question in a thoughtful, legible 1-page response. Embed textual evidence into your responses:  Morrison includes some strong content concerning the sexual urges of the Sweet Home men as well as their restraint with regards to Sethe. What might Morrison be suggesting about the extremes - and extreme impacts - of slavery on a young man or woman? Also, what does the behavior of the Sweet Home men towards Sethe imply about their characters?
