We learned a speed reading exercise that can train the eyes and mind to speed up. We also continued practicing writing summaries. Students worked in pairs to write a one paragraph summary of the history of the Glorious Revolution based on the background readings for Topics 1 & 2.
Core
Bellwrite: What is the difference between law and justice?
We finished taking our Les Mis reading quiz up (for the reading up through page 142). Students discussed in small groups the following questions.
- The Fall of Adam motif in the Champmathieu affair
- Christian imagery in the Champmathieu affair
- The symbolism of Jean Valjean's dream
- The symbolism of candles
- The difference between law and justice (see p. 105, p.75)
- How Javert sees the world (pp.54-55)
- Valjean's redemption of Fantine (p.76)
- The symbolism of Cosette's clothing
Les Miserables reading up through page 164 due tomorrow.
