*Please pick up chapter 17-24 vocab list (also see below)

*Quick review of changes to schedule (see changes below in red)

* Discuss your inferential questions with small group. Also discuss possible reasons for why Hawthorne leaves so much room for speculation as to what was on Dimmesdale's chest.

After the discussion, as a group, write the following on a sheet of paper and hand it in to me. We will use these questions in our whole class discussion on Monday.

* your names

* two discussion questions (written last night) that lead to the most lively parts of your disucssion today

* and, two new questions related to ideas that you felt Hawthorne was trying to explore or answer in this novel.  That is, he seems to be wrestling with a number of specific questions that are religious, psychological, relational, moral, cultural, etc.   So try to articulate two specific questions you felt he was exploring.  There are many possibilities, so avoid writing cliche'd or overly broad questions.
