11/5 & 11/6 Everyday Use by Alice Walker

On Wednesday and Thursday, we read Everyday Use

Before reading Everyday Use by Alice Walker, students complete anticpation guide questions.  Students should use complete sentences, or I will mark them wrong:

1.         Think about the objects in your home. Which objects have been passed down from other family members?

2.        Why do they continue to have a place in your home?

3.         If you were to move away to live on your own, which objects in your home would you want to take with you? Explain why for each object selected.


4.         How would your parent/guardian feel about you taking each item? Explain your response.




Here is a link to the story:

We were going to complete character worksheets for the story, but we have to go on so that we can finish the Antigone Unit before Thanksgiving, so I am sure you will all be saddened that we did not get to do the worksheet...LOL yeah right!
