Objective:  I can initiate and participate effectively in a 4-corners discussions to share my thoughts on our reading thus far building on others’ ideas and expressing my own clearly and persuasively about the characterization of Christopher McCandless (SL11-12.4).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task: Select your favorite of the provided coloring pages, cut and paste into your notebook after your characterization notes.
  • Pre-reading:  Review the 4-corners posters and think about whether or not your stance has changed since last week.  
  • Be watching for evidence that supports each of the questions as you follow along to Ch. 5 (18:09) p. 38-46
  • Post-reading:  Review these quotes from today’s chapter.  Which do you think best supports or refutes each question in 4-corner?
    • “He was so enthralled by these tales, however, that he seemed to forget they were works of fiction, constructions of the imagination that had more to do with London’s romantic sensibilities than with the actualities of life in the subarctic wilderness.”
    • “’I thought he’d be fine in the end,’ [Burres] reflects.  ‘He was smart. He’d figured out how to paddle a canoe down to Mexico, how to hop freight trains, how to score a bed at inner-city missions.  He figured all of that out on his own, and I felt sure he’d figure out Alaska, too.’”
    • “One morning I was shaving in a restroom when an old man came in, and observing me, asked me if I was ‘sleeping out.’ I told him yes and it turned out that he had this old trailer . . . I kind of have to keep things toned down and stay out of sight . . . The only drawback is this old guy, whose name is Charlie, is something of a lunatic . . .”
    • “‘Frankly, I was surprised he ever got hired,’ {Zarza] says. ‘He could do the job--he cooked in the back--but he always worked at the same slow pace, even during the lunch rush, no matter how much you’d get on him to hurry it up.’”
  • In your journal copy one of the 4-corner questions and write your response.  Using a quotation to support or refute this characterization of McCandless.
  • Color, cut and paste in the picture you selected.  If possible, select a quote that goes with the picture and complete one of your quotations to go with the picture.

    • Find a quote from your reading that is thought-provoking and write a thoughtful reaction filling the page with your thoughts and ideas.  Images included enhance the ideas.  
  • Exit Task:  Find 1 of the vocabulary words from throughout the book (focusing on words you struggle with), copy the sentence and page number, highlight the word, then write your own sentence using the word correctly. Tally on your rubric for one vocabulary word.  How many do you still need to find?
