April 17, 2014

DUE: 
1. Truth and Beauty writing (due by the start of class)
2. Chapter activities 15-18

Starter #9: (15mins)
With a partner dissect this quote by Huxley. Look up words you do not understand and write them down. Once you feel you understand the quote rewrite it in your own words in a way anyone could understand it.

“The lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.”

Once you finish re-writing the quote relate what it is saying to one example in the book.

Seminar Coaching:
Go through each chapter as a group and write down 5 key take aways from the chapter. Think about what Huxley wanted us to understand from the chapter and why he may have included it in this book. Look below the surface.
The Ending – Describe what happens at the end and what message you think Huxley is trying to send by ending the novel that way.  Come up with an alternate ending and explain how that would change the message sent. 
Seminar Questions – Generate 5 open ended questions that you could bring to the seminar.
