However, though we were organized, some of the ideas may have been a bit crazy. Eating the first-graders happened to be a common topic that really caught me off-guard; it was too absurd for me. We had a pretty light approach to the activity, but I think if we were in a real situation we'd take the matters more seriously. This was our weakness in my opinion.
Really quickly, I just HAVE to point out something I discovered. (SPOILER ALERT!). Near the beginning of the book, when all the boys were crowded around, the person who possessed the conch could speak. In our class, Diamond gave permission to those who wanted to speak. I thought this was an interesting relation, partially because we hadn't read the book yet. It could be part of human nature...
Excellent way of relating your in class experiences with the book and then back to our other class discussion about human nature, very good job with that. You may have noticed at school or either on my blog that I was not there the day the class partook in this fun activity. I could only imagine many ways in could have gone, but since I heard good things about our class, I think things would have gone well.
ReplyDeleteIm glad to hear that you all will be indulging in the first graders for food. Needless to say not too surprising. Just kidding, that activity sounds very fun and I am sorry I missed it.
