Reading

Read The Last of the Mohicans chs. XI-XVIII (11-18)

Journals

For each chapter, students will need to write down three things in their choice of journal, notebook, or looseleaf paper:

  1. Favorite quotation from the chapter. They may select their favorite according to any criteria—style, content, emotional impact, exactitude of description, character development, etc.
  2. One observation over the chapter. What did they notice? What ‘worked’ in the chapter? What didn’t seem to? Have there been significant developments in character? What about theme(s)?
  3. One question for peers. These aren’t intended to be “stumpers,” and it’s okay if they know the answers. Think how they would like their classmates to weigh in on a matter. I’ll be available as a resource, but I would like the students to jump-start some of the discussions in chapters.
