English 9, Period 3 Only

We listened to Aesop's fable, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". This fable is alluded to in Mowat's novel title. "No one believes a liar even if he's telling the truth."

Why is the government crying wolf? Why are the hunters and trappers crying wolf?
How do human needs overcome the needs of animals? How do we live in harmony.

Tonight: Finish reading chapters 4 and 5 and create a what / so what chart to answer the question below: 

We will write this para. during class tomorrow. Tonight, complete the what/ so what chart only.

In a para. of 250 to 450 words, discuss how well prepared Farley is to conduct this research.

Look for examples of
  • proper or improper equipment
  • attitude toward the pilot and "good wolves"
  • Farley's knowledge of wolf calls and what a wolf looks like
  • Farley's landing without a map or any idea where the wolves will be
  • how the government responds to his pleas
