Students submitted their revised drafts of their analysis and response to the Joseph story in the Qur'an and Genesis. Mr. Stone has delayed the editing and submission time for this paper. He will announce the new deadline shortly. He wants to create some distance from the drafting of the paper to help the students to edit it more objectively.
Mr. Stone read the introduction to "The Second Voyage of Sindbad the Sailor" from The Thousand and One Nights. He spent time making sure students understood what a folktale is and contrasted with household tales. He shared several household tales from his own family.
Students took turns reading "The Second Voyage of Sindbad the Sailor" (498-502) using the popcorn method. After the ninth paragraph, Mr. Stone paused the reading and asked a student to summarize the story so far. Mr. Stone drew attention to the use of periodic summarizing as a reading strategy to promote comprehension. The class stopped reading at the second column of p. 501.
Homework: Finish reading pp. 501 & 502 of "The Second Voyage of Sindbad the Sailor" and read pp. 595-598, "The Lion-Makers" from the Panchatantra.
There will be a quiz over these two stories at the beginning of the next class period.
