A Tale of Two Cities - Day 12

Happy Friday Thursday! Ready for the long weekend?

Today we'll work in groups with chapters 7 and 8 to get a sense of the Marquis de Evremonde. Each group will bring to life one moment from this list:

  1. The carriage of the Marquis kills a child
  2. Gaspard's reaction and interaction with the Marquis
  3. The reaction of the Defarges
  4. The Marquis, the mender of roads, and Gabelle
  5. The Marquis and the old woman
Then, we'll spend a few moments looking at these summary sites:
  1. SparkNotes
  2. Shmoop
  3. eNotes
  4. Grade Saver
  5. Cliffs Notes
With your group, look at what these sites have to say about chapters 7 and 8. Then, compare/contrast them with what we did in class today as well as the actual details of the chapter. What do they add? What do they leave out?

Over the long weekend, you are reading chapter 9 and creating a multi-genre response. Enjoy the time off!  See you Wednesday!
