OR

2) Respond to your chosen text from a moral/philosophical standpoint on your blog:

Respond to one or more of the following questions…

What consequences do characters face for right or wrong choices?
What lesson is the story teaching?
How do the morals of the story differ from yours?

3) Copy and Paste your response into a word document and print this for tomorrow’s class. Be prepared to discuss your response in small and large groups.

Note: Remember, the Critical Approaches PowerPoint is now in the W: Drive. Use this as a resource if you need further ideas.
