--Eurasian Conference packets were due today. After turning those in, we had a quick debrief of the conference, but you'll be doing more of that in history next class.
--We then watched all of the movie pitches and saw the lovely film posters everyone had designed. They were awesome--you missed out if you were gone today!
--We then did a little "chalk talk" activity over the second part of Wild Swans. (A "chalk talk" is like a written discussion, usually done on the board, but we did it on bucher paper outside!) To make up this activity, answer three of the following questions on a sheet of notebook paper, 3-4 sentences each:
1. What did you think of Yu-Fang and Dr. Xia's relationship?
2. Why were Dr. Xia's children so upset by their father's marriage to Yu-Fang? Do you think they were justified in feeling that way?
3. How is Dr. Xia's household different from the one Yu-Fang grew up in?
4. Why is it so "shocking" that Dr. Xia moves away with Yu-Fang? Does that make sense to you?
5. When Yu-Fang and Dr. Xia move to Jinzhou, why do you think Yu-Fang is so happy, despite the poverty she is experiencing?
