We viewed these remaining planned scenes from "12 Years a Slave" as detailed yesterday. Be mindful that this is an intense film, and so, when finding the parts on You tube or Netflix, please prepare yourself; not for viewing by younger children. Scene 31 until Patsy is tied to the post (stopping before the actual whipping) and Scene 34 through to the end of the film. (See me during Advisory if you haven't been able to access it online.) I shared some images of the character Patsy in contrast to the actress Lupita Nyong'o for notes of observation that can also be used in Socratic discussion. We then began doing a Claim & Evidence on Loewen's Chapter 5 -- the last piece that will be used for Socratic discussion -- to be finished in class on Monday.
