Today in English we began the class in our lit circles. First we shared some of our findings and then we discussed three quotes from the novel. I very much appreciated the in-depth thinking and responses to the questions.
We continued to read on. First together chapters 4 and 5 and then in our lit groups 6 and 7. We learned that Saul's ancestors collected wild rice. His family decided to harvest the traditional rice to survive the winter on and to trade for goods. If you are interested in what the rice farming may have looked like follow this link here. The chapter ended with the death of Benjamin, Saul's brother. He died of an infectious disease called tuberculosis or TB. Follow the link here if you wish to learn more.
For homework I asked you to complete the lit sheet you are responsible for.
