1. Opening Assignment: Think about what you know about Chopin's life and what you have read so far. (If you need a synopsis, read the bio in the front of the book.) Remember that Chopin was greatly criticized for The Awakening. On a piece of paper discuss the following: Do you think Chopin wrote from her own experiences of marriage? Do you think this book is simply about infidelity or is it something more? Support your opinion based on your knowledge of Chopin and your knowledge of the text.
2. Continue reading The Awakening.
Today we will be reading silently. Using the same paper you used for your opening assignment, write a quickwrite summary (30 words) of the reading you completed today.
Note: Be ready for the quiz tomorrow!
3. Closing: Turn in your opener and your GIST summary.
