History of Love 2 - Discussion pgs 19 (1) -24
"With each day that passes he's blinded a little less by the beauty of the world."
History of Love Day 2 - Opening Continued or Day 2 Discussion (pgs 19-24) : Perhaps the relic of a very early teaching of this novel - later used to continue the last lesson beyond page 19. Often part of our opening discussion - and certainly so when we went to (the hated [by me]) Block Scheduling, and had a 90 minute period.
Lesson Overview
This is kind of an optional class - depending on how far you get in the last class - and where you will start with the next class. See the last lesson for more detailed instructions on how to run a discussion from notes . This was sometimes done as a separate lesson but most often was part of the opening discussion. It all depends on (like most things) time. The only thing you will find here (as a resource) are some additional notes.
My Lesson Notes & a sample reading page
See the last lesson for instructions - the text with my notes served as a guide for the questions, comments and ideas that I ask - though I was always ready for and often elicited the students ideas, questions, etc. Over the years - as I wrote notes in this text - the previous years' notes and questions become incorporated into the lesson. Again - you will find that these instructions are flexible - and I had to be - they kept changing the amount of time that we had in the classroom.

Thoughts on the Lesson
An opening lesson sets the tone for the rest of the novel. It is so important to bring the teacher's excitement and bring that to the rest of the class. In my mind, anyway - I always see students very happy and excited to have read and to talk about this book. It comes as a surprise to them. A different kind of choice for their English class. And there are lines in that opening reading that will stay with students for the rest of their lives. I know - because I still hear former students quoting them.
