Silent Bellwork(this means no talking) Reread pages 406-407 of “An Unforgettable Journey.” Be ready to find a quote that can support the following inference: Maijue Xiong is hardworking and appreciative of things like education because she and her family survived the dangers of fleeing Laos.
Inference Chart MaijueXiong is hardworking and appreciative of things like education because she and her family survived the dangers of fleeing Laos. What evidence from “An Unforgettable Journey” can I use to support this inference? • “Now that I am older, I treasure the long but valuable lessons my parents tried to teach us—lessons that gave me a sense of identity as a Hmong. ‘Nothing comes easy…’” (pg. 407). • “Therefore, I am determined to do well at the University” (pg. 407).
Inference Chart MaijueXiong is hardworking and appreciative of things like education because she and her family survived the dangers of fleeing Laos. • Help me circle the words that describe Maijue’s identity.

How did I do on my test? 0 = 50% 1 = 60% 2 = 70% 3 = 90% 4 = 100% Add up your percentages and divide by 4; this will give you your average. For example, if you received a 4, 3, 2, & 0, you would add 100 + 90 + 70 + 50, then divide by 4, which is 77.5% (C).
Learning Targets • I can cite several pieces of textual evidence to support my conclusions and inferences. • I can analyze how culture, time, or place affects the identity of Nya and Salva in A Long Walk to Water. • I can identify exemplary quotes and inferences to help me improve my responses.
Exemplary Responses • Quote: “The water that filled the hole was filthy, more mud than liquid” (pg. 27). • Inference: This is related to place because, while Nya gets dirty water, we get clean water from purifiers; this means Nya is grateful for what she has.

Exemplary Responses • Quote: “His belly was a rounded lump stuffed full of honey and beeswax” (pg. 28). • Inference: Salva was grateful because he didn’t have a meal in days, but now he ate until he was full. Though it was only honey, they have it as a meal; we have it as a topping.

Exemplary Responses • Quote: “Salva made it a habit to search the group every morning and evening to look for his family” (pg. 28-29). • Inference: This is related to time because it’s a war time, and the war drove him off from his family. The farther he gets the more determined he is to find his family.

Exemplary Responses • Quote: “It seeped in so slowly that it took a long time to collect even a few gourdsful” (pg. 27). • Inference: This is related to place because she had to kneel and wait for a long time to get water. That means she is a patient person.

Review What three things do you need to create an exemplary response for the question, “How do culture, time, and place influence the development of each character’s identity?”
