ENGLISH 7
Spelling exercises and post test, Unit 25.
Met with literature groups for a wrap-up to Call of the Wild.
Discussed the following questions. Each member of the group had a say. Jobs: discussion leader, notetaker, timekeeper, word-master. Expect a Chapter 7 vocabulary quiz next week. Handed in completed work in at the end of the period. Your final essay and test will also be done next week.
1.) How did you react to Buck becoming wild? Did you find yourself cheering for him? Or did you feel regret that he was moving away from the world of men? Explain.
2.) How, if at all, would you change what happens to the various characters?
3.) Why was Thornton camping alone? Why was he the ideal master?
4.) What do Thornton and his partners find after a long search? Why does this cause Buck to move toward the call of the wild?
5.) What does Buck find when he returns to camp after killing the moose? Why do the Yeehats consider Buck an evil spirit?
6.) Were you surprised by what happened to John Thornton? Why or why not?

Had a few speech volunteers. They got extra credit for volunteering and did amazing work. Everyone else, with a peer and a peer edit rubric, practiced.
Final draft and ready for your speech Tuesday. You will be chosen at random, so there are no exceptions and you must be ready.
