  1. Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Bell Ringer: Read the sentence carefully. Look for context clues to help you in determining the meaning of the Greek/Latin prefix or root.

  2. Daily Learning Target • I can defend, through analysis of the text, that Santiago follows the hero’s journey. • I can demonstrate comprehension of increasingly challenging texts in order to answer literal, interpretive, and evaluative questions.

  3. Comprehension Review Quiz You will need to write the correct letter on your own paper. Do not write on the test paper.

  4. Independent Reading: Read to the Star on Page 127 The Alchemist persuades Santiago to sell his camel and buy a horse. The next night he takes Santiago into the desert and gives him his second test. What is the task The Alchemist gives Santiago, and what skill is being tested in this task? When Santiago passes his test in the desert, The Alchemist is convinced that Santiago is a student worthy of this teaching. The Alchemist then offers to guide Santiago across the desert in search of his treasure. At first, Santiago refuses to leave the oasis because he does not want to part from Fatima. What does The Alchemist tell Santiago to try to convince him to go on? What sort of test does this decision represent for Santiago? The Alchemist tells Santiago "you don't have to understand the desert: all you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation." With this in mind, why do you think The Alchemist chose to befriend Santiago, though he knew that the Englishman was the one looking for him? The Alchemist says that for the boy to find his treasure he must listen to his heart. Why does The Alchemist feel that the heart is more important, or more trustworthy, than the mind? How and why is the heart able to understand things the mind can’t grasp?
