In English today we read Chapter 6 in Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane.  We discussed many of the recurring themes in the story. We also tackled these questions and answered them in our English notebooks.


Chapter 6

Questions
Do you get a good impression of the death and destruction being caused by soldiers? As you continue to read, pay attention to how the battle, and associated casualties reflect the realities of the war.
Explain this sudden change within the regiment from contentment to horror.

As In Current Events we read an article entitled A Peek Inside The World's First Carbon Neutral City from Dogo News. As the world becomes more aware of the risks of climate change and the importance of sustainable energy sources, individuals and communities are increasingly taking measures to reduce their carbon footprint. Some are building "passive homes", to take advantage of natural sun and wind patterns, while others are installing solar panels or windmills, to power their homes. But never before has there been an entire "green" city - one that relies solely on renewable energy sources and smart design elements, to eliminate its carbon footprints.
