List all of the classes that Harry Potter must take at Hogwarts.  These are all listed in the beginning of Chapter 8, and before Harry goes into Snape’s classroom.

You must pick TWO classes and explain what the students learn.  The other classes you may just give a name.

 

A reminder that your Character Charts will also be due at the end of class tomorrow, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 at 10:10am.  If you would like to take them home and work on them, that is okay.

26 May 2016: Harry Potter Character Map Assignment

We are going to be working on your Character Map for a few days a bit at a time while we read through the novel.  This is not something you should finish quickly – make sure it is detailed, neat, and organized.  Please feel free to translate the instructions to your language if you are unsure! =)

 

What You Need:

  • “Harry Potter” must be in the centre of the whole page.
  • Must show one kind of arrow or shape for characters directly related to Harry.
  • Must show a different kind of arrow or shape for character related to someone else other than Harry (e.g. Ron’s family).
  • Every single character must have a picture with their name (e.g. for Harry Potter you can draw glasses).
  • First, you must complete a Draft.  This must be checked by your teacher before you begin your Good Copy.
  • Your Good Copy must include different colours for different categories to show you understand how different characters are connected.

 

HOMEWORK: Translate all of what is written above (the instructions for this assignment) into your language.  Email this to your teacher before the start of class tomorrow, Friday, 27 May 2016 at 9:00am.

Please remember, your ticket to enter class tomorrow (Wednesday, 25 May 2916) is a) your anatomical chart with 20 facts, and b) your preparation notes for the discussion.  The discussion will focus mainly on the question we started to look at today: is it worth the risk to take substances when the long term effects are unknown, and what are the ethics behind such a study?  Is this possible, or viable, morally speaking?  How would it work?
