During hours 2, 5, 6, we viewed a powerpoint presentation of spirit bears and their habitat. They actually are real animals that exist off the coast of British Columbia. (Circle Justice is actually real as well. I am looking for a speaker to tell us more about Circle Justice. If anyone knows something involved in the process, please let me know). After that, students finished chapter 7. Then we read chapter 8 together as it is a pivotal (or turning) point in the story. Students got a set of questions to answer IN COMPLETE SENTENCES on chapter 8. Click here to print the worksheet.
Hours 7, 8 continued working with the idea of symbolism today. In small groups, students made a visual representation of the different concepts the same symbol could represent. For example, the spear Cole makes to attack the bear could represent his anger and power. However, it can also represent his ignorance and fear. Students then need to take the ideas from their posters (which many did not finish since sometimes we do more talking than working in small groups) and write a well constructed paragraph contrasting the two representations of the symbol.

- Hours 2, 5, 6--Answer questions on chapter 8 IN COMPLETE SENTENCES (due tomorrow) Click here to print the worksheet.
- Hours 7, 8--read chapters 14-19, write a paragraph contrasting the two representations of the symbol (both due Friday)
