Hey Gals, here is the info for tomorrow.
CISSA C1 GIRLS BASKETBALL schedule 2012
See you all there at 8:30!!!
Our last short story for the journey’s unit will be The Destructors, by Graham Greene. Please download the story below.
After we read the story together we will work on the following discussion questions:
1) In what way does this story reflect the enduring understanding “journey’s always involve change, whether personal, societal or institutional”?
2) How is the paradox of destruction as a form of creation linked to the idea that the only constant aspect of journeys is change?
3) What are the different types of journeys taking place in The Destructors?
4) How do youth characterize a central form of conflict within the plot of this story?
5) Choose a historical figure’s journey; how has destruction been a part of their eventual fulfillment?
