"While he was pursuing his argument the sky became overcast, the winds blew...and the ship was caught in a most terrible storm."
Candide 3 - Discussion (Chapters 4 to 8) : Though we focus on 4 to 8, in I have also gone back further and have gone as far as Chapter 10 as well. This is a Ringmaster Teacher discussion.
Lesson Overview
Lesson Overview
A pretty straightforward discussion - we pick up with Chapter 4 (which was the last chapter covered in the student Group Work). I think it's great to have a little overlap - the students have pounded out the ideas on their own (well - in their groups) and you (and the other groups) can see what the students have come up with. This is a typical Ringmaster Teacher discussion. The teacher asks the questions - students volunteer answers, and of course you are always prepared to let the discussion go where it will. See earlier discussions for more information and/or my page on class discussions.

My Lesson Notes
See above 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.

The thing about Candide is that while there is a lot that is very funny here. It's also got its share of serious ideas and issues too. Hence, The History of Love was a great preparation. I remember while we read that book - the students couldn't get over how they could be laughing on one page and crying on the next. It is the Human Condition.
