The Stranger Seminar

2/7/2017

NO STARTER: Today is The Stranger seminar day!

CLASS BIZ
  1. SLC's are March 1st!  Heads up that you won't have to attend SLC's IF you have a C or higher in all your classes AND if you have secured a mentor for LINK the FRIDAY before SLC's.   Otherwise you'll need to attend SLC's with your parent(s).
  2. Email me your seminar prep!
  3. I need to dial groups for lit circles-- let's look the current groups I have.

While you are NOT seminaring, please do the following: 
1. Read "Shades" by Boleslaw Prus 
(I recommend reading it at least twice) and form an interpretation of the story!  Annotate your thoughts, questions, and confusions in the margins.  Your goal will be to write about these two questions after reading:
  1. What could the author be suggesting about the #meaningoflife?
  2. Any intertextual connections you're making as you read it??

*A note about interpreting literature:  There is not ONE right answer that we are looking for when we analyze literature.  There are many theories about how to approach literary criticism ("deconstruction" is one, in fact), but for now, open yourself up to whatever the lit might be saying to you, rather than trying to find some predetermined, absolute meaning.  The same can be said about your interpretations of The Stranger for tomorrow's seminar. 

2. Formulate your interpretation of "Shades" in your starter google doc.  Again, try to answer these two questions and use evidence from the story to support your claims:
  1. What could the author be suggesting about the #meaningoflife? 
  2. Any intertextual connections you're making as you read it??
