Year of No Rain Day 3

Salama! (Hello from the island country of Madagascar!)


We have been reading the book 'Year of No Rain.' Life for Stephen and Wol are very different than ours. As we discuss today's chapters, think about what you would do if you were in their shoes.

DO NOW:  Answer the following questions
1. Where does this story take place? (Give as many details as you can)
2. Describe the violence that is going on right now. Why did it start? Who is it between? How is it affecting everyone in the country? (Use the introduction of your book for help.)
3. Why are cows so important?

CLASSWORK: We will be discussing the homework questions. Then, create a diary entry pretending that you are one of the boys running away and hiding in the forest. What are you thinking about? How do you feel? Must be at least 10 sentences.

HOMEWORK: Read chapters 11-15 on “Year of No Rain.” Answer the questions for chapters 11-15 for Year of No Rain in eBackpack.

Note: Tomorrow is a work day where you will be able to work on reading as well.
