We reviewed the principle of cause and effect by discussing Newton's 3rd Law of Motion- To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Then, we read If You Give a Pig a Pancake to see cause and effect in literature. After a game to review the idea one more time, we started with the background information to Dante's Inferno.
To start with, we read the introduction in our textbook on pg. 656. After reading, we answered the following questions:
1. Who did T. S. Eliot compare Dante to?
2. Where was Dante from?
3. What happened to Dante in 1302? Why was this even important?
4. What language did people usually write in at this time? What language did Dante use?
5. Define allegory.
Then, we watched a short video about The Inferno. The video is available online and can be found here.
