March 27

Novel study: A Wrinkle in Time
Chapter 7 - The Man With The Red Eyes
Begin working on The Dark Planet graphic organizer with a partner.
I would encourage a good copy in MS Word as follows:


The Dark Planet - Camazotz (Chp.5-8)

  • everyone is alike, everything is uniform, complete conformity everywhere you look;
  • if you are ill or deformed, you will be annihilated (utterly destroyed), flaws are not tolerated;
  • on Camatzotz, individualism doesn't exist, there is only 1 mind and it's IT; they claim that confusion/unhappiness results from people living separate lives
