I am excited to have SO many parents joining us with our first Parent Read-Along for the book Into the Wild.
Using the Blog:Feel free to start a conversation on the blog. You may post questions, leave comments, or just read what others have to say (although I encourage you to POST). You may need to create a blogger/google account in order to post, but I encourage you to do so.
This Week:- We will be reading chapters 8 through 13 of Into the Wild this week. - In class, we have been looking at people who make the choice to live on the fringe of society. We have looked at living "Off the Grid" and we will meet the inhabitants of Bullhead City in this week's readings. - The biggest question students are asking me now is "Why does Chris cut ties from his family?" For most of our kids, this is a little unfathomable (especially giving away such a large trust fund), and I am not sure they are fully grasping yet how totally unhappy Chris was with the "middle class" lifestyle of his family. What would it take for someone to be so unhappy that they would give up everything for a new life?
Enjoy the reading this week!
