Hello! Great first class. Below are the assignments for next weekend. I will also post a separate forum listing the words that we went over in our first session.
1. Read Chapters 6-10 of Charlotte’s Web.
2. Consider the following questions, which we will discuss next class. To prepare, please write your thoughts on the forum (3 sentences minimum for each question). Then, respond to at least one of your classmate’s posts.
- Do you think Fern really can hear the animals? Or do you think Mrs. Arable is right and that Fern is pretending to hear the animals?
- What do you think Charlotte will do to help Wilbur? How will she fulfill her promise that she’ll keep the farmers from killing Wilbur?
- What does Wilbur learn in Chapter 7 that makes him weep in despair? How does he learn this information?
3. Post two discussion questions you would like to share next class about Ch. 6-10.
4. Choose three words that you found challenging in this reading. Record the page number, context sentence, and definition of each word. Then, write your own sentence using each word. If you have other words that were unfamiliar, mark them down and we can discuss them during class.
5. Translate the paragraph on p.72 beginning with “Just the same, I do worry about her…” into Chinese.
