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 8 - and of course this is after the huge previous activity we did on The Search. 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.
I have also done these chapters as a Group Work

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.

Group Work Chapters 10 to 14 Docx PDF I think this is really a great group work because it does those things that a group work should. It utilizes having more people (than doing it by yourself) and it brings in and makes connections to past activities (The Search, The Poetry before, and even my British Literature class that a few of the students will have been in ("Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard)

Candide Day 6 - A Vertext or a Group Work: The Vertext is the preferred way to go - there is so much in these chapters. The Vertext also brings in one of the poems we read before - so that students can - for a change - point the finger at ourselves for who is to blame for the misery of forced labor.

This follows the epic class - The Search. And now the teacher hopes the students are really marking up these connections on their own. They are starting to see, that like them, Candide is looking for something - and the status quo is just not enough.
