Day 8: Conrad and Achebe and Makola, oh my!

Inquiry: How might someone else see you as a single (static) story?

G block: TED Talk (20 mins)

1. Large group --> Review Achebe's argument. Do you buy Achebe's argument? Why or why not? SAS triangle.

2. Back to triads: Makola/Henry Price worksheet. What does this tell us about his character? About Makola's role in the short story? About Makola's role in Adiche's idea of no single story?


3. Find connections between “Heart of Darkness” and “An Outpost of Progress”. Where do we see the same language in Outpost?

4. Big take aways? Should we teach/read Conrad?
