Activity #1
Individual Work
Identifying Conflicts

STANDARDS:

• RL6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

Directions:

Part 1 - You must work independently to answer questions 1 - 6. Write the type of conflict on the line provided. 

Remember:

"Person vs Person" is the same thing as "Man vs Man"

"Person vs Nature" is the same thing as "Man vs Nature"

"Person vs Society" is the same thing as "Man vs Society"

"Person vs Self" is the same thing as "Man vs Self"

Part 2 - Write an example of each type of conflict from the text. Then write a citation, (or a piece of evidence) that supports your example.

When you are done you may pick up a copy of the Cornell Notes for chapter 22 & 23 and begin working on them until everyone is done.

Essential Question: What questions do I have about ch 22 & 23 plot events and what conflicts can I identify?

1. While you read it is important to annotate what you are reading. (6-8 Annotations)
2. Use your D.O.K. Stems to help you generate level 1, 2, & 3 questions. (Minimum of 3 questions)
3. Finish with a 3 - 4 sentence summary.

Activity #2
