Discussion Starter for "Young Goodman Brown"

Brown sure could have used this in the story, couldn't he?




After reading the story, go here and look at the themes I listed. For one theme, leave two examples of the theme shown through plot, character, setting, or symbolism.


Finally, later today or tonight, choose one of the options below (either from Reflecting and Relating or Evaluating) to write a short paragraph on in the comments section of the blog.  Then please leave feedback to two paragraphs from your peers.  We will use this to develop a discussion later this week.



Reflecting and Relating

So, the big idea is . . .
A conclusion I’m drawing is . . .
This is relevant to my life because . . .

Evaluating

I like/don’t like                         because . . .
This could be more effective if . . .

The most important message is . . .

Wednesday's Assignment

Don't forget to finish watching Simon Sinek's TED Talk.





Then go to the Padlet below and post two connections between Sinek's talk and The Dip.  Remember, no stealing from anyone else.  No paraphrasing their thoughts.  Make a new connection no one else thought of.  Be original.  Or click here to go to the actual site.







Then begin your rough draft on the final paper for The Dip. I shared this assignment with you on Drive.  I'll embed below the Storify document that you can pursue for possible sources.  Remember, you can use any other sources we've previously read in class for this paper.  Likewise, if you do some original research and find other sources, you may use them as well.
