Chalk Talk
I placed posters around the room. With a marker, you were asked to QUIETLY respond to as many posters as possible, using complete sentences and evidence when needed.

Next, you responded to 3-5 other people's responses in a thoughtful way beyond simply agreeing or disagreeing. Again, this was QUIET.

Finally, you walked around and reviewed what other people wrote or responded, and we had a class discussion. The prompts are listed below.

1. Women and men have different roles and responsibilities. (Respond with either: your opinion outside the text or how this is true/untrue within the text).
2. Why does Juana feel the events following the pearl's discovery may all have been an illusion?
3. Did Kino do the right thing in demanding a fair price for the pearl, even if it meant leaving his community?
4. Describe the role of greed in the story.
5. What surprises, shocks, or disturbs you the most about this story?
6. What is the most obvious theme, to you, in this story? Why?

Homework/Exit Slip: Question on Google Classroom and read The Pearl, chapter six until page 92.
