-Reviewed themes: - Society and just civilizations are held together by systems that can fall apart, easily. - The strong tend to overpower the weak. - Rationality is often overcome by evil and chaos. - Civilizations that cannot uphold their rules can be destroyed. - In society, people have the tendency to devalue (vilify) the innocent, and to value (exalt) the villains; thus, evil ends up on top. - No matter how civilized humankind becomes, there is always the potential for civilization to revert to savagery. - The core of human nature is dark, and people need society and structure to control that impulse-driven part of human nature. - Evil is not something supernatural that lurks in the shadows; it is a creation of the human mind. || Read end of novel and work on questions to end of Chapter 11 || - Finish novel over the weekend || - reviewed Chapter 6 - and 7 (P3) - Reviewed Chapter 8 and 9 (P4) - Transitions List: || - Reading period || -Questions for Chapters 7 until end of the book: - Reviewed compound subject and compound predicate || - Catch - up period - have templates for paragraph finished by Monday -have Chapter 7 poem finished by Wednesday || - Began paragraph || - Read Chapter 7 when you have finished and work on the Found poem (DUE: Wed.
