3RD QUARTER GRADE - UPDATE

3RD QUARTER GRADE 4 ELEMENTS
You should read and re-read the novel. Also visit the special page on Chronicle on this blog and post one comment on the most interesting character (70-100 words). 

TASK 1.
Post on the Chronicle Page by Monday March 10th. Who is the most interesting character in the novel?

TASK 2. INTERACTIVE ORAL. WEDNESDAY MARCH 12TH. HL1 AND HL2.

Here are some questions to help get you started on a line of enquiry - based on a discussion of the CULTURAL CONTEXT of the novel - South American Machismo Patriarchy and Feminism, The Bishop as symbol of religion and God and patriarchy and indifference..... Angela - villain or victim of male hypocrisy?
Bayordo - kind rich man or victim of societal hypocrisy forced into desperate strategies?
The brothers - not very intelligent, not very cruel just responding to the expectations of their culture - 
The Judge - representative of justice or construct of the macho culture....
(Think of more ideas as you prepare at home and help everyone in your group deepen their knowledge.)
