Dear Class,
For homework please:
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?
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.
5. Translate the paragraph below, which is from the end of chapter 8, beginning with “Just the same, I do worry about her…” into Chinese.
"Just the same, I do worry about her," replied Mrs. Arable. "I think I shall ask Dr. Dorian about her the next time I see him. He loves Fern almost as much as we do, and I want him to know how queerly she is acting about that pig and everything. I don't think it's normal. You know perfectly well animals don't talk."
