Remember, your work for the weekend is to complete your rationale and have a hard copy ready to hand in on Monday. You should be also PLANNING your intervention over the next few days.

ACTIVITY 1:
Darwin 1967
The novel begins with Paul giving his first impressions of Keller.
What are your first impressions of Paul as an adolescent? What is his relationship with his parents like? What aspects of Paul's life are affecting his development to adulthood? Justify your answers with evidence from this section of the novel.
Activity 2:
This activity is a good way to practice for your assignment.
Look at the gap on page 13 after Paul runs out of Keller’s room. We know what Paul does and what he thinks. We don't see what Keller does.
Write the next section from Keller’s point of view. What did Keller do next? What did he think as he contemplated the scene which had just taken place?
Use your narrative to reveal Keller’s attitude to growing up and to Paul. In what way might he be trying to influence Paul's development?
In planning, consider Keller’s experiences and how these might affect his attitude to what growing up entails. Read the section pages 65 – 67. What does this tell us?
Post your response on your blog!
