2) Quiet Think - heads down.... remember a time when you told a big lie, maybe to cover up something you did, maybe just because you weren't really thinking... whatever the case, you knew what you were saying was wrong, maybe you even knew that people would get hurt, as a result. Remember it? Now, ask yourself, has the truth been told? If not, should you clear the air and come clean? Would it be better to hold the lie? Would it be healthier to tell the whole story?
3) Class Discussion - Way back when, I asked, "Why Do We Lie?"
Today, I am asking you, "Why do we sometimes decide to stop lying and tell the truth?"
4) Review Chapter 16 - quick summary.
Read Chapter 17 - all stay... this is one of the most important chapters in the book.
Your job, as you listen, is to think about how this peripheral character, Rahim Khan, is integral to the whole of The Kite Runner. What would this book be without him? What does he represent?
5) Time for journals, chapter questions, vocabulary.
6) Read to the end of Ch. 18 for homework. And, get vocab sheet done.
