To Start:
We’re switching to doing starters on paper. Silently grab your binder off the shelf and put a heading on  a clean piece of paper (Name, Section, Date, Assignment). Then respond to these prompts:
  • What’s the best book you’ve read, story you’ve heard or movie you’ve seen in the last few years?
  • What made it so good?
  • What makes a good story a good story?

In Class:
  • First, the morning class is finishing King Leopold’s Ghost.
  • Then, we’re watching an interview with Chinua Achebe. As you watch, consider:
    -   What moment was Achebe trying to capture?
    -   How can fiction can be true, according to Achebe?
    -   What was the problem with European storytelling about Africa, according to Achebe?
  • We’re discussing different truths about imperialism in small groups.
  • Finally, we’ll individually brainstorm about the stories we’ll be writing (in GoogleClassroom).

Coming Up:
  • Your story brainstorm and TFA chapters 24 and 25 are due before class tomorrow.
