1.     What does the line “we must strive to be like the moon” mean to you?

2.     What is it about this line that has stayed with the author for so long?

3.     What is so disturbing about the Wheelbarrow vision in Chapter 2?

4.     In Ch 3 what do you think that Ishmael means “That night for the first time in my life, I realized that it is the physical presence of people and their spirits that gives a town life.”

5.     In a single sentence description for each, name five boys Ishmael runs away with in Ch 3.

6.     What were the boys looking for in Mattru Jong?

I put those first few questions from the Unit on ALWG on here for a student not in class today.

In any case, we got back in the portable today - it was a nice and calm day.

We read to page 160 and got questions 20 and 21 from the list of questions.

We did do some chatting about the Parent-Teacher night this Thursday and about the mark Update that should come shortly, too.

I also recommended that students leave their CA novels in their lockers, just in case we get a day to read them in class in the next few weeks.
