  1. Bell Ringer- Read the sentence carefully. Look for context clues to help you in determining the meaning of the Greek/Latin prefix or root. Then using your clicker, answer numbers 1-4. Monday, November 26, 2012

  2. Daily Learning Target I can defend, through analysis of the text, that Santiago follows the hero’s journey.

  3. Review- Take 3-4 minutes to skim through pages 60-79. Answer true or false. If the answer is false, rewrite the statement to make it true. • The Englishman is looking for the Holy Grail. • Santiago and the Englishman both believe in omens. • Santiago believes that he can not learn anything from the desert. • Maktub means “It is true.”. • Santiago tells the Englishman that he needs to pay more attention to the caravan. • The Englishman tells Santiago he needs to pay more attention to the caravan leader.

  4. The Alchemist Finish reading to the star on page 104.

  5. 1. As the caravan crosses the Sahara, Santiago and the Englishman each make an effort to gain new insights by practicing the other’s method of learning: Santiago reads the Englishman’s books about alchemy, and the Englishman spends several days observing the caravan and the desert. When the Englishman asks Santiago what the boy learned about alchemy from reading his books, Santiago sums up his reading in a few short sentences (on page 83). What does he say he learned? 2. Nearly every encounter Santiago has contains a lesson for him, if the boy is observant enough to perceive it. Even the thief who stole his money in Tangier had a lesson for Santiago: Read the conversation on pages 84-85 between Santiago and his new friend, the camel driver. What life lesson is the camel driver trying to impart to the boy? As you read about Santiago’s response to the appearance of the oasis on the horizon, do you see evidence that Santiago has internalized the bit of wisdom offered by the camel driver? 3. Recall that each encounter Santiago has presents him with the opportunity for personal growth provided that he can understand what it is he should learn from the interaction. What lesson is there for Santiago to learn from the fact that Fatima Page 6 of 7 tells him not to stay at the oasis but to go to the pyramids after he has pledged his love for her? 4. Santiago believes he has seen an omen in the desert. What has he seen, and what does he think it signifies? According to the camel driver, why would God allow Santiago to see this vision of the future?
