En 12: Friday, 1 April

Today we took time to answer some questions on the blog about my questioning techniques in class and the utility of questioning in school in general.

We also took time for people who had still not responded to all of the inquiry questions from the 1984 blogging assignment to get that done.

Finally, we read "Touching Bottom" and answered the "response" questions.  We will need to do some sort of assessment for the short story unit next week, and then it's on to Hamlet.  Have a nice weekend - Sunday is supposed to be sunny - yippee.

PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST WITH AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU THINK WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD OPEN-ENDED INQUIRY QUESTION FOR ANY OF THE SHORT STORIES WE'VE READ.

  1. In relation to "shining Houses", how do you know when something is right or wrong, and when do you make your opinion clear?

  3. An alright (I don't want to say 'good' because, I'm not that talented) inquiry question for " The Chrysanthemums" would be: "How will a person know when there strong enough to be themselves?"

  4. "On The Rainy River"

    Is It Better To Bottle up Are feelings and "Obey Demands", Or Express our inner Thoughts and Live with the "Consequences"?

  5. For "The Chrysanthemums". When can you tell if a person is be themselves or just acting that way to get something out of you?

  6. For "The Return"

    Is it ever acceptable to tell a lie, and if yes, when?

  7. For "The Return"
    What kind of lie is acceptable in today's society, tell why.
