Presentation Transcript

  1. Jan 31 – Huck Finn Agenda: • “The War Prayer” • Video Reflection • Satire in the story • Intro to Huck Finn • Trailer • Sparknotes Video • Huckleberry Finn • Chapters 1, 16 and 18 Take out: • Pen/Pencil • Highlighter • Notebook • War Prayer Worksheet Homework: • Read chapters 1, 16 and 18 of Huck Finn • Annotate and identify vocabulary

  2. “The War Prayer” These are the final two questions on the “War Prayer” video worksheet – discuss your answers to these question with your table partner in preparation for a class discussion: • Twain uses a number of variations on the word “patriot” in this story (patriotic, patriotism). The root “patr-“ means “father.” How is this word significant to both love of country and Christianity? How does he align love of God with love of country in this story? Is this idea shown in the films as well? • What is the War Prayer trying to get you to think about (there is more than one thing)? Is Twain effective? What are your thoughts on this topic? Use this space to reflect and write your own opinion: do you agree? Disagree? Why?

  3. Huck Finn – An introduction • Complete the worksheet as you watch the two videos about various forms of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

  4. “The Adventures of Huck Finn” – Movie Trailer • What words are used in the trailer to define Huck? List them here: • Given the trailer, describe what kind of story this is supposed to be, and what happens in the story. What makes you think so? • What do you think that the outcome of the story is? Why?

  5. Reading Huck Finn • As you read, you should keep two things in mind: • Most things that Twain has to say have a deeper meaning, and often use satire • The book is written from the perspective of Huck, a poor, uneducated, nearly-illiterate child, so the vocabulary can be difficult • As you read, ANNOTATE the text for meaning and examples of satire • Write targets of satire in the margins • Write the names of satirical techniques in the margins • Highlight and underline examples of satire in the text • I will be grading your annotations for credit, so work slowly and carefully, and be specific as you go!
