1) Silent Reading
2) Think of a time when you have been completely out of your usual comfort zone... what does it feel like to be away from what you know? 6 word story. Share.
3) Back to Touch the Dragon - what connotations come to mind when you think of a dragon? Why is a dragon so apt as the central symbol of a story about moving in to a foriegn land?
4) Multiple Choice (switch and mark) - some debate might be okay here...
5) Discuss the elements of fiction in the excerpt/story.

6) Homework - 300 word topic - see handout.
