Lesson:
We performed our poems. If absent, be prepared to perform next class. Also, answer the following questions about the story:
1. Think back to the last time you stood up for someone who was teased. Was it hard to do this? Why? Were there any consequences?
2. Why might the author have chosen a “mad/man woman” as the target of this story? Why does the author wait until the end to reveal that the woman is black?
3. What does this story tell us about:
How prejudice is passed on from one generation to the next.
The role of the bystander in passing on prejudice.
The motivation of the girls.
We then went over the final project. You can read about it on-line on the assignments page.
