Rung Five - Personal Connections

DURING

Activity One
Immediately after reaching certain points in Red Scarf Girl, you will write blog posts reflecting upon the material you just covered. These posts will be due at page 51, page 155, and page 285. Talk about what has interested you the most about the book so far.

AFTER

Activity Two
Check out this web page, which talks primarily about the Four Olds. Write a blog entry about what would have labeled you "black" during the Cultural Revolution. What things do you now cherish that would've made you a target of the Red Army?
