Chapter 2 quiz for those absent yesterday

Write about and discuss Behind the Beautiful Forevers... Chapter 3: Sunil...

Road Boys: Write a mini-biography about Kalu or Sunil.  With a partner, write a page biography about one of the boys. Include some paraphrase and embedded quotes (with page #'s). Make sure to describe their personalities, their daily lives, and the challenges they have faced and continue to face.

Homework:

Tonight: Watch   INDIA: A NEW LIFE: Helping Youth in India and Around the Corner at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/indiaflw/  (about 17 minutes)
On a sheet of notebook or looseleaf paper, please answer the following:
1.      How do you think these kids have ended up on the street?
2.      Why do some of them keep returning to the street?
3.      What problems do these children face?
4.      Why are there more boys than girls on the street?
5.      Why might living on the street be even tougher for girls?

6.      Do you think that the priest and the Hindu lady are really helping the kids or running a scam like Asha or even Sister Paulette? Why or why not?
7.      Something to think about for tomorrow (no writing required tonight): Given their poverty and lack of family support, what do you think could be done to help street kids have a better present and future? What type of assistance – and from whom – could help them lead better lives?
