1. We will be working today with symbolism, motifs, and themes in Ivan. We will be looking beyond the obvious examples to discover more immersed examples.
2. Looking over our Reflective Writing, we need to take another swing at the writing portion. We are going to do another Interactive Oral (Socratic Seminar) next Thursday, February over Ivan Denisovich, which will give us the opportunity to reflect on the DEVELOPMENT of cultural and contextual considerations on Solzhenitsyn. ALL STUDENTS will WRITE.
The two major topics will be:
Education and Religion
Your secondary sources:
1. What I Saw and Learned in the Kolyma Camps: This link will take you to Varlam Shalamov's intriguing list of revelations about the "education" that comes from living in the Kolyma Prison Camps. Read the PDF pages 1-3.
2. Alexander Solzhenitsyn: Pilgrim in Life and Literature
You will all be responsible for printing off the texts and annotating them thoroughly. You will EACH need to bring higher level questions that are written with the purpose of exploring:
HOW WAS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF CULTURAL AND CONTEXTUAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE WORK DEVELOPED THROUGH THE INTERACTIVE ORAL
