English 10

We began by discussing the different points of view. The Chrysalids is written in the first person point of view with our narrator David Strorm.

We discussed the plot of the first chapter and read the second chapter. Much of our discussion focused around setting (what sort of world do they live in? why is it like that? is it the future? what is keeping them so isolated from other parts of the world?)

HOMEWORK: students must read to the end of chapter 3 for Monday -- there will be a quiz on Monday.
TIP: I will be asking you about the "curious understanding" that David has with his cousin Rosaline -- look back at chapter 1 and see what that 'understanding' could be (. . . he seems to have an unusual connection to/with Rosaline . . . )
