Lesson 56

 We started today's class with silent reading (15 minutes a day is such a good way to stretch our attention spans).

Students did a second practice quiz - on their own this time - we will correct it tomorrow.

We looked at conflict again, especially as so many struggled with the concept in their Giver packages. There was a brief activity, which was handed in during class.

We discussed the final section of the synthesis work, which is due on Thursday. Students are permitted two options for the conclusion: All must make a clear statement about whether the two stories have more, or less in common than there is difference between them. Students are invited to write an additional statement about how a society based on the Sky Woman story might be different from the Judaeo-Christian one in which we live.
