Focus: What larger patterns are starting to form in middle of The Color of Water?
1. Warming up with title lines: Uncover the meanings behind the titles of Chapters 12-14
1st 2 rows: "Daddy"
2nd 2 rows: "New York"
3rd 2 rows: "Chicken Man"
First, we'll read aloud your lines from Chapter 12 ("Daddy,"), then everybody will perform a quick brainstorming of the multiple meanings behind the chapter with Level 1, 2, and 3 statements. Then we'll move onto the next two chapters.
Here's an example from Chapter 1:
Level 1 (plot): The first chapter title is "Dead" because much of the mother's father revolves around her father, who is now dead.
Level 2 (literary analysis): The first chapter title is "Dead" because the narrator's former identity had to "die" in order for her to become the strong woman she is today.
Level 3 (bigger picture): The first chapter title is "Dead" because this book might be about what it takes to bring somebody's spirit back to life, to give a voice to someone silenced, or to to do right by someone before it's too late.
2. Getting yourself a date with some vocabulary-infused, day-late Valentines!
